A reading path through the field
Six steps, roughly an hour of reading, from the basic question to the frontiers of research.
- The hard problem: why consciousness is puzzling in the first place.
- Theories of consciousness: a field guide: the main contenders, side by side.
- IIT vs Global Workspace: how theories are now put to the test.
- Is consciousness quantum?: the boldest physical proposals and their critics.
- Altered states: what sleep, dreams, anaesthesia and psychedelics reveal.
- Near-death experiences: the hardest questions, handled with evidence.
Along the way, every claim carries an Evidence Meter badge: Established Debated Speculative.
