The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
Author: Julian Jaynes
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547527543
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

The Science of Consciousness
Author: M. S. Eva K. Deli
Publisher: Nadir-Video
ISBN: 9789631226270
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
A synthesis of theoretical physics, neurology and evolution, this book introduces a new hypothesis, which describes space and time as orthogonal fields. Their interaction is a cosmological evolution, which generates complexity and culminates in the emergence of the intelligent mind. The hypothesis answers age-old questions about the nature of time, matter, mass, entropy, and gravity. It gives a breathtaking view of physics, neurology, and evolution, and explains many previously unexplained phenomena. This new worldview has applications from evolution and theoretical physics, to social sciences and economics. Between these pages you will not only gain new scientific insights, but learn about human behavior, creativity, emotions, relationships, and more...
