Book Description
Leonie Brialey’s book Raw feels is available once again, this time in digital format as an ebook. Raw feels is a term used in philosophy to describe the ineffable, intrinsic, unprocessed “what it is like” of certain phenomena of life, like the smell of a rose, the pain of a headache or heartache, the pink of a sunset. Raw Feels is a book about being alive, being depressed, keeping going, trying again and again and drawing. "I don't know how [Leonie] made such a profound beautiful book. Such simple little drawings. So effortless, like a soul that forgot to complicate things. And weaving hands and lines and waves and tears and so much sadness and humor. How can that book about sadness and depression and loneliness be so funny? My god, it's my favorite book, I just don't know how you land so lightly, but touch all the important parts. Thank you so much for this magnificent book." -Tom Hart

Book Description
This book reviews some of the most important scientific and philosophical theories concerning the nature of mind and consciousness. Current theories on the mind-body problem and the neural correlates of consciousness are presented through a series of biographical sketches of the most influential thinkers across the fields of philosophy of mind, psychology and neuroscience. The book is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to philosophers of mind and the second, to neuroscientists/experimental psychologists. Each part comprises twenty short chapters, with each chapter being dedicated to one author. A brief introduction is given on his or her life and most important works and influences. The most influential theory/ies developed by each author are then carefully explained and examined with the aim of scrutinizing the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches to the nature of consciousness.

Book Description
Sellars (1912-1989) was, in the opinion of many, the most important American philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century. This collection, coedited by Sellars's chief interpreter and intellectual heir, should do much to elucidate and clearly establish the significance of this difficult thinker's vision for contemporary philosophy.
