Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental nature of consciousness and how it relates to the concept of free will. The author delves into the complexities of subjective experience, arguing that our understanding of both intensity and duration is fundamentally flawed. By examining the qualitative nature of conscious states and the way our minds experience time, the author presents a compelling critique of the traditional philosophical debate on determinism and free will. The book challenges the common assumption that conscious states can be measured and compared like physical objects, arguing that intensity is not a matter of magnitude but rather a unique quality. The author contends that the very notion of a homogeneous, measurable time is a conceptual construct, a product of our tendency to impose spatial metaphors onto the flow of our subjective experience. This, they argue, leads to a misunderstanding of how our conscious selves experience the world and ultimately undermines the case for free will. By providing a deeper analysis of the subjective experience of time and intensity, the author offers a new perspective on the age -old problem of free will, suggesting that its existence is rooted in the unique and unquantifiable nature of our conscious selves.
