Description
Consciousness: How Our Brains Turn Matter Into Meaning by John Parrington
Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and the use of tools transformed our brains.
This book draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves, providing a material basis for our innermost thoughts and explaining why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.
