Description
Brain-Wise Studies in Neurophilosophy by Patricia S. Churchland explores the profound impact of brain research on our understanding of the mind. Building on her earlier work, Neurophilosophy, this book examines old questions about the nature of consciousness, the self, and free choice within the new framework of the brain sciences. Churchland draws on recent research at various levels of brain organization to provide an up-to-date perspective on neurophilosophy. She considers the neurobiological basis of consciousness, how the brain learns about the external world and its own introspective world, and the significance of religious and moral experiences. This book offers a clear and conversational approach to understanding the state of neurophilosophy, highlighting what we know, what we do not know, and where research may lead in the future.
