In Clarke’s view, mind and consciousness are so unified that they cannot be compounded into wholes or divided into parts, so mind and consciousness must be distinct from matter. Collins, by contrast, was a perceptive advocate of a materialist account of mind, who defended the possibility that thinking and consciousness are emergent properties of the brain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendices include philosophical writings that influenced, and responded to, the correspondence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062938779888,"sku":"9781551119847","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781551119847_p0.jpg?v=1763754360","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781551119847","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
