Recenzje

An inspired and landmark work...Few among us would persevere in a detailed study of philosophy, psychiatry, and neuroscience; fewer still would attempt the synthetic analysis and present it with singular style and erudition... this visionary book will enjoy a wide audience and will be a catalyst for further study and debate.
