- More about Measuring the Immeasurable Mind: Where Contemporary Neuroscience Meets the Aristotelian Tradition
Matthew Owen argues that consciousness can be empirically detected and measured despite its nonphysical character, and proposes the Mind-Body Powers model of neural correlates of consciousness, informed by Aristotelian causation and a substance dualist view of human nature. He rebuts longstanding objections to dualism related to the mind-body problem and provides a philosophical foundation for empirically discerning and quantifying consciousness.

Matthew Owen's book, "Measuring the Immeasurable Mind: Where Contemporary Neuroscience Meets the Aristotelian Tradition," challenges the notion that consciousness is purely nonphysical and proposes that it is possible to empirically detect and measure it. Owen argues that despite the materialist perspective that has dominated neuroscience in recent decades, measuring consciousness and its medical benefits is not ruled out by its nonphysical nature. He introduces the Mind-Body Powers model of neural correlates of consciousness, which is informed by Aristotelian causation and a substance dualist view of human nature inspired by Thomas Aquinas. The model provides a philosophical foundation for empirically discerning and quantifying consciousness and rebuts longstanding objections to dualism related to the mind-body problem. Owen applies a historical vantage point to contemporary cognitive neuroscience, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between mind and body.
