Even modern neuroscience has tended until recently to concentrate on the cognitive aspects of brain function, disregarding emotions. This attitude began to change with the publication of Descartes' Error. Antonio Damasio challenged traditional ideas about the connection between emotions and rationality. In this wonderfully engaging book, Damasio takes the reader on a journey of scientific discovery through a series of case studies, demonstrating what many of us have long suspected: emotions are not a luxury, they are essential to rational thinking and to normal social behaviour.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Science Nature & Math, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
