Summary

The following is a short list of my recommended further reading, viewing and listening. The list includes just a few of those sources that I think are directly relevant to this book; those which I have drawn on a great deal. (Please see the Bibliography for full reference details.)

Further reading

For following up ‘The three stories’, try putting the title of one of the stories, e.g. ‘What is it like to be a bat?’ in your web browser’s search window. You may find that authors’ homepages also have the original articles to download. I’ve included some book titles that may also be available via online booksellers. The original articles may be a difficult read for non-philosophers, but worth your efforts in following them up if your interest has been sparked:

‘Teleportation’ by Derek Parfit. Try ‘Divided minds and the nature of persons’ (also available in Blakemore and Greenfield 1987);

‘What is it like to be a bat?’ by Thomas Nagel (1974; also available as a chapter in Nagel’s book Mortal Questions, 1979);

‘Mary the colour scientist’ by Frank Jackson. Try using the title, ‘Epiphenomenal Qualia’ (also available as a chapter in Ludlow et al., 2004).
