| Summary: | "In this unique and exciting new book, thirteen internationaly renowned psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and philosophers present an original multidisciplinary inquiry into what Schopenhauer called 'the world knot': the mind-body or brain-consciousness puzzle. The distinguished contributors probe such intriguing topics as: mind, brain, and symbolic consciousness; mental phenomena as causal determinants in brain function; brain and free will; problems concerning the structure of consciousness. In addition, this unusual work contains a special feature -- an enlightening, open conversation among the thirteen contributing philosophers and scientists on the role of scientific results in theories of mind and brain."--front flap |
