Mind in Life: Biology, Phenomenology, and the Sciences of Mind

"Mind in Life" explores how living organisms exhibit traits of consciousness, awareness, and subjective experience rooted in biological processes. It connects biology, which explains life's physical mechanisms, with phenomenology—the study of conscious experience—and the sciences of mind, such as psychology and neuroscience. The book argues that life and mind are intertwined, emphasizing that consciousness arises from complex biological activity. It encourages understanding how subjective experience and biological function co-evolve, bridging scientific explanation with our lived experience of being aware and responsive in the world.
