1. 1. The Man Who Wasn't There

   Investigations into the Strange New Science of the Self

   

   A probing exploration of how science and philosophy are rethinking what it means to be a self, weaving clinical case studies (phantom limbs, split-brain patients, out-of-body and alien-hand phenomena), laboratory experiments, and altered states to show that the sense of a unified, continuous “I” is a fragile, brain-generated construction rather than an immutable feature of reality. The narrative traces efforts to map varieties of selfhood to neural mechanisms, examines disorders and experiments that expose how the brain assembles a personal perspective, and considers the philosophical and ethical implications of treating the self as model, illusion, or emergent process.
