Description: In this book, Derk Pereboom explores how physicalism might best be formulated and defended against the best anti-physicalist arguments.

Review Quotes: "Consciousness and the Prospects of Physicalism is an ambitious, often subtle,
approach to the contemporary debate over the status of physicalism. It merits careful
attention, and will have to be grappled with both by those who contend that physicalism
is false as well as those who think that any physicalism has to be of a reductive variety. It
advances the debate in a compelling and original way, and will be of interest to anyone
working on the issues that Pereboom discusses."--Kevin Morris, Philosophy in Review

"I see this as a very good book in many ways. Probably, because new proposals are advanced therein, the material in chapters 1-4 and 7-8 is the most noteworthy." --Notre Dame Philosophical Review
