Does Consciousness Exist? (William James)

William James' wonderful 1904 essay "Does Consciousness Exist?" where he puts forward a kind of neutral monist view of the mind. This was read by D.E. Wittkower and is from LibriVox. The paper itself comes from William James' "Essays in Radical Empiricism", which was published posthumously in 1912. Note, this is a version of an upload from the previous channel. The audio has also been slightly edited and improved. William James' next essay, "A World of Pure Experience", can be found here:    • A World of Pure Experience (William James)   #philosophy #philosophyofmind #consciousness #metaphysics #mind #historyofphilosophy #williamjames
