Rezensionen

"Marc Champagne's new book Consciousness and the Philosophy of Signs is a triumph. The book is eminently well informed, well reasoned, well written, and well worth reading." (Jamin Pelkey, American Journal of Semiotics, Vol. 35 (3-4), 2019)
"Marc Champagne makes large claims and indeed undertakes what might seem to some readers a Herculean task -- to solve the 'hard problem', as the problem of qualia has come to be identified in the philosophy of mind. ... This is a very suggestive book. It is moreover a clearly and engagingly written text, and (for the most part) a carefully and responsibly argued one." (Vincent M. Colapietro, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, ndpr.nd.edu, October 7, 2018)
