In Conversations on Consciousness, Susan Blackmore interviews some of the great minds of our time, a who's who of eminent thinkers, all of whom have devoted much of their lives to understanding the concept of consciousness. The interviewees, ranging from major philosophers to renowned scientists, talk candidly with Blackmore about some of the key philosophical issues confronting us in a series of conversations that are revealing, insightful, and stimulating. They ruminate on the nature of consciousness (is it something apart from the brain?) and discuss if it is even possible to understand the human mind. Some of these thinkers say no, but most believe that we will pierce the mystery surrounding consciousness, and that neuroscience will provide the key. Blackmore goes beyond the issue of consciousness to ask other intriguing questions: Is there free will? (A question which yields many conflicted replies, with most saying yes and no.) If not, how does this effect the way you live your life; and more broadly, how has your work changed the way you live?
Paired with an introduction and extensive glossary that provide helpful background information, these provocative conversations illuminate how some of the greatest minds tackle some of the most difficult questions about human nature.

Okay pillows
Size: King / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
Soft and comfortable, the only downside to the pillows is that the feathers pop out from the cover and pinch

Do not recommend
Size: Standard / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
At an Airbnb in Marine CA, these pillows were on my bed. They were so wonderful, I took a picture of the label so I could order them for myself. After a few weeks, the feathers began working out of casing and would poke my head. I then put them in two pillowcases thinking that would make a difference- nope. When I removed the outer pillowcase to launder, there were 69-80 little feathers between the two layers. I went back to my old pillows and although they aren’t as great as down pillows, I don’t miss being poked and finding little feathers between the pillowcases and in my bedroom. Four months later, I am still finding a few random feathers in my bedroom.

These pillows are very comfortable and soft, but still give good support for sleeping. The material feels high quality and the size is perfect for my bed. I’ve been sleeping much better since I started using them. I would definitely recommend them.
