The Large, the Small and the Human Mind
Science
Based on Penrose's Tanner Lectures at Cambridge, this book summarizes the major unsolved problems he sees in physics across cosmology, quantum mechanics, and the nature of consciousness. Penrose presents his views and the volume includes rebuttals and commentary from philosophers Abner Shimony and Nancy Cartwright and physicist Stephen Hawking. It distills his arguments about non-computability and the human mind for a general audience.
