Synopsis
Excerpt from Man and Civilization: Control of the Mind; A Symposium
It, would be an impertinence and an impossibility to attempt to assess the services of Provost Saunders of the University of California San Francisco Medical Center to this first attempt at a new approach to one of man's central problems. And I trust that the many individuals, within the university and without, who willingly sacrificed many hours to a discussion of the problems presented by the symposium during the years of its planning will be sufficiently rewarded by this fruit of their combined suggestions. The staff of the University of California Exten sion Division of the San Francisco Medical Center is already too well aware, we suspect, of our dependence upon them for thanks to be necessary.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and enduring question of the relationship between the mind and the brain. It brings together leading thinkers from various disciplines, including neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and religion, to explore the complexities of human consciousness and its connection to the physical world. The author takes a historical approach, tracing the evolution of scientific understanding from the early days of Luigi Galvani's groundbreaking experiments with electricity and nerve conduction to the more recent discoveries about the functions of different brain regions. The book explores the limitations of scientific explanation when it comes to the nature of the mind, delving into the philosophical debates surrounding monism and dualism. It examines the role of experience, memory, and language in shaping our mental processes, and considers the ethical implications of using drugs to manipulate the mind. Ultimately, this book offers a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the mysteries of human consciousness, challenging readers to reconsider the very nature of mind and its place in the universe.
