From a leading philosopher of the mind comes this lucid, provocative argument that offers a radically new picture of human consciousness--panpsychism.

Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something "extra," beyond the physical workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. And some even suggest that the mystery is so deep, it will never be solved. Decades have been spent trying to explain consciousness from within our current scientific paradigm, but little progress has been made.

Now, Philip Goff offers an exciting alternative that could pave the way forward. Rooted in an analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of modern science and based on the early twentieth-century work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell, Goff makes the case for panpsychism, a theory which posits that consciousness is not confined to biological entities but is a fundamental feature of all physical matter--from subatomic particles to the human brain. In Galileo's Error, he has provided the first step on a new path to the final theory of human consciousness.

Stylish Look and Comfortable for Daily Wear
Size: 9, Color: Navy Blue
I bought the SVNKE men’s fashion dress shoes mainly for casual office wear, and they’ve been a pleasant surprise. The design looks sharp and gives a nice mix between dress shoes and sneakers, so they work well with both business and casual outfits. They are surprisingly comfortable right out of the box. The cushioning is decent, and I’ve been able to wear them for most of the day without discomfort. They also feel lightweight, which makes them easy to walk in. The build quality is okay for the price—not premium, but solid enough for regular use. Overall, these are a great budget-friendly option if you want a versatile shoe that looks good and feels comfortable for everyday wear.

Better quality than the others!
Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Black, Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Black
I’ve had a pair of these in grey for over a year and was looking for black shoes to replace my worn out old ones, so I decided to give these a try. Just like the grey, these did not disappoint. They have a different/look design than the standard breeze/cole haan knockoffs you see everywhere. They look and feel a lot better. The insoles have more support and the outer sole is very cushioned, making them comfortable all day. With the other knockoffs, I usually buy an additional insole for support since they come with a laughable sponge laid in the shoe, which is an added expense. This alone makes the SVNKE a great option. If you like the different look of these, then definitely get them, you will appreciate the higher quality!

Fantastic purchase
Size: 12.5, Color: Black
Fantastic purchase. I had a trip to Spain planned and wanted shoes that would work both for lots of walking and also more dressy events so I bought these. After a nine day trip to Spain, walking over 20,000 steps a day through cobble stone streets I can report these shoes held up, were comfortable, gave no blisters, and all with virtually no break in time for the shoes. I wear a size 12 but bought a half size larger and it was a perfect fit. Definitely recommend these.

If you’re going for cushion and looks, these do it.
Size: 9.5, Color: Grey
These are massively cushiony. They fit as sized, slip on well, and look very good. It seems like they should hold up well.

Nice and affordable, but poor arch support and mushy insoles.
Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black
These shoes look nice and feel comfortable at first, but the soft memory foam type bottoms on these don't provide enough support. I am a big guy and find that over the course of the day the insoles compress and my feet end up at an angle. After a long day on my feet, my dogs are barking and my leg muscles are tight I think from walking on an angle. I added my GoodFeet arch support and they help a little with arch support, but the insole is so soft that it absorbs the bulge quite a bit. If you're skinny and need a decent looking pair of shoes on the cheap, they might be ok for you. I would not recommend long walks or strenuous activity in them. I will say they are lightweight, breathable and a decent value if you don't have flat feet and a beer belly (I don't even drink beer, how'd that happen, WTH?!)
