Evolving the Mind: On the Nature of Matter and the Origin of Consciousness Tapa dura - 1996
de A. Graham Cairns-Smith
The next great revolution in science will undoubtedly be the emergence of a useful theory of consciousness--a theory based on our better understanding of molecules and brains and of the nature of science itself. In a straightforward, conversational style, Cairns-Smith synthesizes the contributions of a wide range of scientific disciplines to bring science to the brink of a unified theory of consciousness. 66 illustrations.
Descripción de contraportada
Our minds must be considered among the wonders of the natural world. It seems hardly credible that an organised assemblage of molecules can generate vivid feelings and sensations, yet the brain is such an assemblage and it does...So, how does our conscious mind arise from our physical brain? Evolving the Mind examines this question by following two main themes: how theories of the mind have evolved in science and how the mind itself evolved in Nature. This book is written in a very accessible way. It is amusing, serious, informative and at times conversational. It starts in history and follows a trail for a physical theory of consciousness inadvertently laid down by twentieth century science.
