What shapes our personalities? How do we account for near-death
experiences?
How do we make decisions? And what happens when we accept that
everything we feel and think stems not from an immaterial spirit but
from electrical and chemical activity in our brains? Neurophilosopher
Churchland grounds the philosophy of mind in the essential ingredients
of biology, offering lucid explanations of the neural workings that
underlie identity. Churchland explores how the latest research into
consciousness, memory and free will can help us reexamine enduring
philosophical, ethical, and spiritual questions.
