Opis

'Self Comes to Mind' explores two questions that have haunted philosophers, neurologists, cognitive scientists and psychologists for centuries: how do brains construct minds, and how do minds become conscious? In this work, Antonio Damasio debunks the long-standing idea that consciousness is somehow separate from the body.
