Description

Consciousness and the Social Brain by Michael Graziano is an audacious new theory that attempts to explain the human brain's ability to create consciousness. According to Graziano, the brain has evolved complex circuitry that enables social intelligence, allowing it to attribute awareness to others and oneself. This social machinery is still being studied in detail, but its implications are surprising. Damage to this machinery can disrupt one's own awareness, highlighting the intricate relationship between the brain and consciousness. In this book, Graziano discusses the science, evidence, philosophy, and consequences of his theory, making it a valuable resource for those interested in neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. Now available in an affordable paperback edition, Consciousness and the Social Brain offers a fresh perspective on one of humanity's greatest mysteries.
