Description: A profound and groundbreaking new book telling the story of consciousness and the human mind, from one of the world's leading neuroscientists. 'Will give pleasure to anyone interested in original thinking about the brain...Breathtakingly original' Financial Times The trailblazing investigation of a question that has confounded us for centuries- how is consciousness created? In Self Comes to Mind, world-renowned neuroscientist Antonio Damasio goes against the long-standing idea that consciousness is separate from the body, presenting compelling new scientific evidence that consciousness - what we think of as a mind with a self - is in fact a biological process created by a living organism. His view entails a radical change in the way the history of the conscious mind is viewed and told, suggesting that the brain's development of a human self is a challenge to nature's indifference. Groundbreaking ideas and beautifully written, this is essential reading for anyone curious about the foundations of mind and self.
