Philosophy, as God intended (if he were a school girl):
It seems it's still handbags at 40 paces as the full text of Colin McGinn's increasingly infamous review of Honderich's book On Conciousness has been posted to the web, so you can enjoy the academic mudslinging in all its glory.
If you're not clear on the background to this spectacular resurgence of the long-running feud, have a look at our post from a few days back.
To continue the saga, Honderich has also posted his own reply , followed by McGinn's subsequent response with his own (one sentence!) reply to that.
Of course, there's some good conceptual points being made about the nature of consciousness, but let's be honest, that's not why we're reading it.
