Self-Embodying Mind

Exploring the intricate relationship between human consciousness and neuropathology, this philosophical essay presents a groundbreaking perspective on the mind/brain problem. Jason Brown argues that consciousness unfolds through distinct stages, reflecting both individual growth and evolutionary history. He challenges the dominant computational model of cognitive science by demonstrating that concepts and images precede perception. The book integrates insights from neurophysiology, psychology, and Buddhist philosophy, offering readers a profound understanding of consciousness's development and its potential across various states of awareness.
