THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS From Neuroscience to Philosophy of Mind

What is consciousness? How does subjective experience arise from the brain? Why are we aware?
These questions have captivated philosophers and scientists for millennia, and today, we are closer than ever to finding answers.
"The Evolution of Consciousness" is an extraordinary journey through the frontiers of neuroscience and philosophy of mind, a work that combines scientific rigour with accessibility to explore the most mysterious phenomenon of human nature.
🔬 What you'll find in this book:
✨ The scientific foundations
Discover how the brain generates the mind through the latest neuroscience breakthroughs: from neural correlates of consciousness to integrated information theory, from functional neuroimaging to the mechanisms of attention and memory.
🤔 The great philosophical puzzles
Explore the mind-body problem, the nature of qualia, the free will debate, personal identity, and the subjectivity of experience. Understand why consciousness still represents "the hard problem" of science.
🌍 The evolution of awareness
Journey through millions of years of evolution to discover when and how consciousness emerged, from unicellular life to primates, from invertebrates to human beings. Explore animal consciousness and its ethical implications.
