A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This study proposes a unified view of the mind which integrates the insights of philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists. The author examines the major theories of these disciplines and gradually reveals fundamental links between previously unconnected approaches to human thought and experience. The book should be of benefit to philosophers, psychiatrists, psychologists, cognitive scientists and those in related fields.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book proposes a new, unified view of the mind which integrates the insights of philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Through a detailed discussion of major theories from all these, and related disciplines, the author gradually reveals fundamental links between these previously unconnected approaches to human thought and experience. The author has studied medicine, philosophy, mathematics and history, and is currently a practising psychiatrist and a teacher at the Harvard Medical School. He discusses diverse fields of thought with depth and clarity, and his unique perspective should stimulate a re-evaluation of our traditional approaches to the mind.
