The Science of Consciousness (A Monograph)

Description

This monograph presents the author’s in-depth research on consciousness in both human and cosmic contexts an area that continues to challenge scientists in the West and sages in the East. It explores profound questions such as: Why did evolution introduce consciousness? How was it incorporated into the evolutionary process? Why do we need a first-person subjective experience of the world when objective mechanisms could suffice?

Drawing on discoveries and theories from material science, neuroscience, biology, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, the author contrasts these with the rich subjective insights of the Upanishadic sages and contemporary Indian philosophers and mystics. With extensive citations and thoughtful analysis, this monograph offers a compelling, scholarly, and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the mysteries of consciousness.
