About this work

Description

"In this book, esteemed philosopher and neuroscientist Georg Northoff shows us what happens when we apply insights from neuroscience to philosophical questions about the self, consciousness, and the healthy mind. Can we "see" or "find" consciousness in the brain? How can we create working definitions of consciousness and subjectivity, informed by what contempory research and technology has taught us about how the brain works? How do neuronal processes in the brain relate to our experience of a sense of personal indentity? Where does the brain end and the mind begin?"--From publisher.
