Opis

For every one of us, consciousness is a primary, immediate, permanent fact--the core of life itself. Why, then, are we so far from forming any definitive picture of what it is, and what it means, for us? Author Mauro Maldonato sets out to establish a fruitful dialogue between different disciplines, investigating consciousness from points of view that shape awareness of ourselves and of the world. An engaging and insightful work, this book looks at how individuals come to make decisions, and the history of philosophical and scientific debate on consciousness.
