‘Will give pleasure to anyone interested in original thinking about the brain…Breathtakingly original’ Financial Times. The groundbreaking exploration of a question that has preoccupied us for centuries: how is consciousness created? In the book Self Comes to Mind, world-renowned neuroscientist Antonio Damasio challenges the long-held idea that consciousness is separate from the body, presenting compelling new scientific data suggesting that consciousness - what we regard as mind with self - is actually a biological process created by a living organism. His view entails a radical shift in the way the story of the conscious mind is revisited and narrated, proposing that the development of a human self by the brain is a challenge to the indifference of nature. With revolutionary ideas and well-written text, it is a must-read for anyone curious about the foundations of mind and self. Pages: 384, Dimensions: 12.8x12.8cm
