The Symbolic Species: The Co-evolution of Language and the Brain
“A tour de force encompassing biology, neurobiology, metaphysics, information theory, physics, and semiotics.â€â€•Publishers Weekly
As scientists study the minutiae of subatomic particles, neural connections, and molecular compounds, their attempts at a “theory of everything†harbor a glaring omission: they still cannot explain us, the thoughts and perceptions that truly make us what we are. A masterwork that brings together science and philosophy, Incomplete Nature offers a revolutionary, captivating account of how life and consciousness emerged, revealing how our desires, feelings, and intentions can be understood in terms of the physical world. 12 illustrationsCountry | USA |
