Description
Proust was a Neuroscientist by Jonah Lehrer
This book explores how artists have discovered truths about the human mind that science is only now rediscovering. Through the work of celebrated writers, painters and composers, Lehrer reveals real, tangible truths about memory, perception and consciousness.
From Proust's insights into the fallibility of memory to Virginia Woolf's understanding of consciousness, this book shows how art has often trumped science in uncovering fundamental aspects of human experience.
