Description
The relationship between neuroscience and faith has long been debated. Some have suggested that advances in brain science undermine traditional notions of spirituality. However, neuroscientist Peter Clarke argues that these findings do not necessarily challenge our understanding of the human experience. Clarke explores the intersection of neuroscience and faith, examining ideas such as the nature of the soul, near-death experiences, and questions of free will and responsibility. He engages with prominent thinkers in these areas, including Francis Crick, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Daniel Wegner. In this comprehensive book, Clarke presents a nuanced perspective on the relationship between neuroscience and faith, offering a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be human.
