William S. Robinson has for many years written insightfully about the mind-body problem. In Understanding Phenomenal Consciousness he focuses on sensory experience (e.g., pain, afterimages) and ...perception qualities such as colours, sounds and odours to present a dualistic view of the mind, called Qualitative Event Realism, that goes against the dominant materialist views. This theory is relevant to the development of a science of consciousness which is now being pursued not only by philosophers but by researchers in psychology and the brain sciences. This provocative book will interest students and professionals who work in the philosophy of mind and will also have cross-disciplinary appeal in cognitive psychology and the brain sciences.
On the day that Berry Gordy started Motown, there were five of us there. He sat us down and said, "We are not going to make black music. We're going to make music for people. We're going to make ...music for the world." However, on that day and for years after that, I am positive that none of us dared to dream that the music of Motown would become what it has become.
