| Publisher Description: Any serious attempt to understand or explain self consciousness must deal with the two important issues of mental causation and human free will, i.e., how may a conscious free willing, non-physical mind possibly influence the behavior of a physical brain? It is abundantly clear that the limited resolution capacity of sense-phenomenal receptors or their instrumental extensions thereof, limit the scope and reliability of the information/knowledge input about the structure and/or function of human body internal or external environmental states as we perceptually intuit through internal/propio receptors and external sense receptors respectively, e.g., microscopy, EEG, fMRI, Pet Scans, etc. So much for the exclusive physicalist reductionist approach to the mind-body problem described as perceptually based, i.e., ontological. When we lack information from a system through faulty instrument measurements, ignorance or otherwise and then compound the problem with our other known human limitation in the mental processing of complex random variables, we describe the problem as a conceptually-based, i.e., an epistemological limit in combinatorial brain processing in humans. In the author's opinion quantum theory, because of the ontologic randomness of its events and its statistical nature, is a probability calculus and brings an opportunity to explain consciousness and existential reality as seen through a hybrid epistemontological lens; at least as a quasi-deterministic probable outcome, the same way we experience it |
