Description
Consciousness remains one of humanity's greatest mysteries. Antonio Damasio argues that recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and psychology have provided the tools to solve this puzzle. In "Feeling & Knowing", Damasio presents his analysis and new insights, synthesising findings from various sciences with philosophical perspectives on consciousness. Through 48 concise chapters, Damasio explores the intricate relationship between consciousness and the mind, shedding light on why being conscious is distinct from simply being awake or sensing. He also delves into the role of feeling and how the brain plays a crucial part in developing consciousness. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of our fundamental capacity to inform and transform our experience of the world. Damasio's work has transformed our understanding of the brain and human behaviour, making "Feeling & Knowing" an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to grasp the essence of consciousness.
