Peter Hershock is one of the most important philosophers of religion in the world today, and this book is an extraordinary accomplishment. Weaving together elements of consciousness studies, neurology, AI technology, New Materialism, cosmology and ethics, Consciousness Mattering offers a comprehensive Buddhist vision for our contemporary world. * Clayton Crockett, Professor and Director of Religious Studies, University of Central Arkansas, USA * The book demonstrates in an impressive way how western science of the brain can learn from eastern spiritual tradition. Consciousness is not in the brain, it is in the relationship between the world and the brain. * Georg Northoff, Canada Research Chair for Mind, Brain Imaging and Neuroethics, University of Ottawa, Canada * Attentive readers and intrepid thinkers will take much from Consciousness Mattering, and I hope that they extend Hershock’s daring efforts in innovative ways well beyond this single suggestion. * Reading Religion *
