Further Reading
Consciousness—Some Materialist, Panpsychist, and Idealist Views
There are many more books out there on all these topics, but these are the books from which I have learned the most. Some are by friends of mine; all are by my teachers. A few of these books are fairly technical; most are written for a general audience.
