A Secret History of Consciousness

Více o knize

"For the last four centuries, science has tried to account for everything in terms of atoms and molecules and the physical laws they adhere to. Recently, this effort was extended to include the inner world of human beings. Gary Lachman points to another approach in which consciousness is seen not as the result of neurons and molecules, but as responsible for them. Meaning is not imported from the outer world, but rather creates it; and consciousness is a living, evolving presence whose development can be traced through different historical periods."--Jacket
