The Conscious Mind

Angebote / Angebote:

How did the human mind emerge from the collection of neurons that makes up the brain? How did the brain acquire self-awareness, functional autonomy, language, and the ability to think, to understand itself and the world? In this volume in the Essential Knowledge series, Zoltan Torey offers an accessible and concise description of the evolutionary breakthrough that created the human mind. Torey proposes that once life began, consciousness had to emerge¿because consciousness is the informational source of the brain¿s behavioral response. Consciousness, he argues, is not a newly acquired ¿quality, ¿ ¿cosmic principle, ¿ ¿circuitry arrangement, ¿ or ¿epiphenomenon, ¿ as others have argued, but an indispensable working component of the living system¿s manner of functioning.
