    About this ebook

    By drawing strength from the latest trends, this book offers a brief philosophical discussion on the ever-lasting human nature-defining mind-body question that has been haunting countless thinkers over the millennia.


    It gives spiritual inspirations and explains why strict materialism perspectives incl. reductionism and identity theory fail to justify consciousness, then going through major plausible philosphies  of consciousness, namely, emergentism, dualism, idealism and Buddhism. It concludes that humans are souled other than robots subordinate to physical processes of the body or the brain by revealing the true YOU. Find out!
