Galen Strawson: Things That Bother Me (2018)

Charming cantankerous philosopher

Arguing for a wider range of human differences in the experience of consciousness beyond the universalizing view of continuous, narrative, story-self-authored-as-meaning. And counter-positions on what a materialist view that doesn't try to explain away or deny conscious experience implies for morality, fate, death, etc. Enjoyable for clear thought and how often he deftly turns to literature's depictions of author or character's inner states as evidence.
