Consciousness is regarded as an intractable mystery, because we humans think about it in a special way. This book analyses this special mode of thought, and exposes the ways in which it can lead us into confusions about consciousness. By analysing the structure of phenomenal concepts, it exposes the flaws in the standard arguments for dualism.
