The Challenge Of Consciousness | Tim Parks | New York Review of Books | 21st November 2016

Conversation about consciousness with philosopher and psychologist Riccardo Manzotti. “Instead of a world where we merely interact with external occurrences, we also have experience of the occurrence. This addition of experience would be puzzling enough in itself. But it is even more puzzling that experience is usually described as experience of something else. I experience a red apple. You experience a piece of music. How is this possible?”
