Item description from seller

The First UK Printing published by Faber & Faber, London in 2015. The First UK trade edition with full number line 1-10. The BOOK is in Fine unread condition. The Wrapper is in like Fine condition and is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. Signed by the author (without dedication) to the title page. A philosophical play based on the concept of the 'Hard Problem of Consciousness', the phrase first coined by David Chalmers at a 1994 talk given at The Science of Consciousness conference held in Tucson, Arizona, in which he discussed why and how humans (and perhaps some other organisms) have consciousness and subjective experience. Here, Stoppard sets the theme within the experiences of his protagonist, Hilary, a young psychology researcher who grapples with this question against the backdrop of her own personal sorrows and religious beliefs. The play first aired at the National Theatre in London in 2015. (Warner A19 a. 1). Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
