One Hand Clapping

Science says that you are nothing but a chemical reaction, like rocks, paperclips and everything else in the physical universe. But if that's so, where is the place in this world for your consciousness? In a word, why does it feel so special to be you? Like the Zen Buddhist riddle pondering the imponderable - the sound of a single hand clapping - this book asks the seemingly unanswerable question of how the human mind came to exist within the material world.
