Produktbeschreibung
The Origin of Consciousness and the Mind-Body Problem is a groundbreaking book, that is both incisive and highly readable. Having been a half century in the making, it presents a profoundly new paradigm. Besides explaining how language created consciousness, it describes how the Scientific Revolution led to the mind-body problem. This problem is about how our mind which represents our subjective, seemingly nonphysical experiences can be logically connected to our objective, physical body. In other words, how the physical body can respond to instructions given to it by a nonphysical mind. This book also explains the origin of our personal self, as well as how our internal dialogues created self-awareness. As such, it will enlighten the reader on issues that have long perplexed the world's best thinkers.
