Author: Damasio, Antonio,
Title: Self comes to mind. Constructing the conscious brain.
Description: Antonio Damasio has spent the past thirty years studying and writing about how the brain operates, and his work has garnered acclaim for its singular melding of the scientific and the humanistic. In Self Comes to Mind, he goes against the long-standing idea that consciousness is somehow separate from the body, presenting compelling new scientific evidence that consciousness-what we think of as a mind with a self-is to begin with a biological process created by a living organism. Besides the three traditional perspectives used to study the mind (the introspective, the behavioral, and the neurological), Damasio introduces an evolutionary perspective that entails a radical change in the way the history of conscious minds is viewed and told. [Goodreads] l Vintage Books. London 2012. Pb. 367 pp. Very good condition.
