The Engine of Reason, the Seat of the Soul: A Philosophical Journey Into the Brain

Paul M. Churchland

4/5 ( ratings)

A picture of the mind is emerging, and explanations now exist for what has so long seemed mysterious. Philosopher Paul Churchland explains these scientific developments in a simple, authoritative fashion. He not only opens the door into the ongoing research of the neurobiological and connectionist communities but goes further, probing the social and moral dimensions of recent experimental results that assign consciousness to all but the very simplest forms of animals.
