Instead, we should view the \u003cem\u003eproblem itself\u003c\/em\u003e as a consequence of our ignorance of the relevant physical facts, Stoljar shows that this change of orientation is well motivated historically, empirically, and philosophically, and that it has none of the side effects it is sometimes thought to have. The result is a philosophical perspective on the mind that has a number of far-reaching consequences: for consciousness studies, for our place in nature, and for the way we think about the relationship between philosophy and science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Stoljar\u003c\/strong\u003e was educated as an undergraduate at the University of Sydney, and received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
