The Self and Its Brain

Více o knize

Exploring the intricate relationship between mind and body, the authors express skepticism about fully understanding the connection between brain structures and mental events. They acknowledge the modesty and conjectural nature of their work while emphasizing the value of human efforts to deepen self-understanding. Advocating for humanism, they challenge the prevailing intellectual trends that undermine scientific achievements and defend the significance of humanity's place in the universe, despite historical lessons from figures like Copernicus and Darwin.
