“意识仅仅是脑组织中神经元放电的结果吗？还是如某些人所主张的那样，是一种如同空间、时间与物质般的基本实在？近年来，意识的本质——即我们直接感知到的经验——已成为科学话语中最深奥的难题。如今在这本新书中，Colin McGinn 对这个令人困惑的问题提出了引人深思的独到观点。”——BOOK JACKET。“他认为我们永远无法真正‘了解’意识——人类的智力根本不足以解开这个谜团——并论证了承认这一局限

关于意识有一本极好的书是 McGinn 的《The Mysterious Flame》[1]。我知道意识是个 hard problem，但这本书彻底讲清了它到底有多令人困惑、有多神秘莫测。每次一想到这事我都依然觉得目瞪口呆（意识到底是怎么…
One excellent book on consciousness is Mcginn's The Mysterious Flame [1]. I knew consciousness is a hard problem, but the book made it clear how baffling and utterly mysterious it is. I am still absolutely flabbergasted when I think about it (how on earth does consciousness…
有一本对这个“谜团”做了深入阐述的好书，是 Colin McGinn 写的《The Mysterious Flame: Conscious Minds in a Material World》。
An excellent book that greatly expands on this "mystery" is The Mysterious Flame, Conscious Minds in a Material World, Colin McGinn.
通常我会建议所有人先去读《玫瑰的名字》，读得开心就好，但对于你，我觉得你应该从《罗阿娜女王的神秘火焰》（The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana）开始，尽管这是他相对没那么好懂的作品之一。书里很大一部分是虚构回忆录性质的，讲述了墨索里尼统治时期法西斯主义是如何渗透进日常生活肌理中的，尽管这…
Normally I tell everyone to read The Name of the Rose first and be happy, but for you I think you should start with The Mysterious Flame of queen Loana, even though it's one of his less accessible works. Much of it is a fictionalized memoir on how fascism became embedded in the fabric of daily life during Mussolini's reign, although this…
如果你想读一本在 Eco 的作品里算得上足够直截了当的书，我也投《傅科摆》（Foucault's Pendulum）一票。《昨日之岛》、《波多里诺》和《罗阿娜女王的神秘火焰》感觉更像是他在借每一本书来考验你，看你配不配读完整本书。每次你觉得自己总算搞懂了大概是怎么回事…
Foucault's Pendulum gets my vote too if you want to read something that is as straight forward as Eco can get. The Island of the Day Before, Baudolino and The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana felt more like he was trying to test you, in each of those books, to see if you are worthy of consuming the entire book. Every time you feel you have a reasonable grasp of what is going…
