Description

The Ego Tunnel: A New Perspective on the Mind and Self Philosopher Thomas Metzinger challenges our conventional understanding of the self, arguing that it is not an independent entity but rather a model created by our brain. In this thought-provoking work, he explores how our brains construct the concept of a self and what implications this has for our understanding of free will, moral accountability, and the nature of consciousness. By examining the science of cognition, Metzinger presents a compelling case for why our sense of self is not as solid as we think. This book offers a fresh and original take on the mystery of the mind, one that is both intellectually stimulating and accessible to readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.
