I read Beyond Physicalism (after I got through the 800 pages of Irreducible Mind). It remains a “top shelf” book and is referred to often. (interesting, that it was in that that I got acquainted with Henry Stapp’s ideas on consciousness and the measurement problem that we discussed earlier.)

It is also interesting that Irreducible Mind and to a lesser extent Beyond Physicalism were primary influences in starting me writing on Medium where I recently calculated I have “penned” about 160,000 words!

If Beyond Physicalism and Irreducible Mind are your pointers toward a new direction in science, I think we are on the same page. Koch is an interesting example where it seems he wants to sit on the physicalist fence even when he admits he can’t defend it. Sort of the same dilemma Carl Jung found himself in I suppose.

Anyway, thanks for this. I am trying to keep up with your recommendations, started on the Kastrup course and not completed yet. Thanks again for the conversation.
