Raymond Tallis explores the community of minds, to show why the brain in the vat experiment doesn't work to explain who we are.

Neuroscientists believe that our minds and conciousness are no more than matter and mechanism. But if they are right, is all meaning, purpose and feeling illusory? Must we accept that we are just machines? Or do the secrets of experience lie beyond neuroscience's grasp, requiring an alternative account of who we are?
