Description
Consciousness has long been a subject of debate among neurologists, philosophers and psychologists. Antonio Damasio's groundbreaking investigation into its origins presents compelling new scientific evidence that challenges traditional views.
In Self Comes to Mind, Dr Damasio explores the biological process behind the creation of consciousness, arguing that it is an integral part of being alive. This thought-provoking journey delves into the neurobiological foundations of mind and self, shedding light on a fundamental question that has puzzled scholars for centuries.
Through his pioneering research, Dr Damasio seeks to understand how our minds emerge from the workings of our bodies, and what it means to be conscious. This book offers a unique perspective on the nature of consciousness, one that is both scientifically rigorous and deeply humanistic.
