Intro -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction: Free Presence -- 1. Conscious Reference -- 2. Fragile Styles -- 3. Real Presence -- 4. Experience of the World in Time -- 5. Presence in Pictures -- 6. On Over-Intellectualizing the Intellect -- 7. Ideology and the Third Realm -- Afterword -- Appendix: A List -- Bibliography -- Acknowledgments -- Index.
Summary: The world shows up for us, but, as Alva Noë contends in his latest exploration of the problem of consciousness, it doesn't show up for free. We must show up, too, and bring along what knowledge and skills we've cultivated. As with a painting in a gallery, the world has no meaning--no presence to be experienced--apart from our able engagement with it.
