From one of the world's leading neuroscientists--a succinct illuminating wholly engaging investigation of the phenomenon of consciousness. In recent decades many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the question of consciousness unsolvable but Antonio Damasio is convinced that recent findings in neurobiology psychology and AI have given us the necessary tools to solve its mystery. Now he not only elucidates its myriad aspects but presents his analysis and insights in a way that is faithful to our own intuitive sense of the experience of consciousness. In the 45 brief chapters of the book he helps us understand the relation between consciousness and mind why being conscious is not the same as either being awake or sensing the essential role of feeling and the biological brain and development of consciousness. He synthesizes the recent findings of various sciences with the outlook of philosophy and most significantly presents his original research which has transformed our understanding of the brain and human behavior. Here is an indispensable guide to understanding consciousness the fundamental human capacity for informing--and transforming--our experience of the world around us and our perception of our place in it.
