ISBN: 9780393343908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) As scientists study the minutiae of subatomic particles, neural connections, and molecular compounds, their attempts at a theory of everything harbor a glaring omission: they still cannot explain us, the thoughts and perceptions that truly make us what we are.

Neither Ghost Nor Machine: The Emergence and Nature of Selves
ISBN: 9780231173339 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. If the universe is aimless, how do selves and aims emerge? Why do living beings have aims when inanimate things do not? Current science encourages us to reject the ghost-in-the-machine explanation--that something called spirit, soul, mind, or will was somehow breathed into matter--and instead accept that selves are just matter, in aimless mechanistic motion like everything else. But what about life's many emergent qualities, the multifarious purposes that shape actual physical behavior not just in human lives, but in all of life? Even the simplest life forms have adaptive functions, traits...
