This Palgrave Companion brings together original essays by leading scholars to explore the multifaceted work of one of today s most provocative thinkers. Spanning Raymond Tallis s contributions to literary criticism, fiction, poetry, philosophy of mind, phenomenology, medical ethics, and secular humanism, the volume offers a comprehensive and critical engagement with his oeuvre. It includes two original chapters by Tallis himself, who also responds to every chapter in the volume. Contributors examine Tallis s challenges to scientism and affirm the irreducibility of conscious human agency through rigorous interdisciplinary critique, while also addressing his literary and artistic insights. The book culminates in a reflection from Tallis on sixty years of intellectual inquiry. This Companion is essential reading for students and scholars in philosophy, literature, medical humanities, and cultural criticism, and for anyone interested in the enduring mystery of human consciousness and agency.
