Book Description:
The noetic model is the first theory of any kind to explain qualia in
physical terms. The formal delineation of the life principle or élan
vital explains not only the origin of self-organization in living
systems, providing the basis for the first comprehensive dualist
theory, but also is what makes the model empirically testable allowing
this volume to make history. The floodgates are about to open to almost
unimaginable advances in the field of consciousness studies. This new
book introduces a comprehensive empirically testable model of
dualism-interactionism to legitimize the interactionist model at a
level tantamount to any other avenue of epistemological investigation.
