Descartes' Irrtum. Fühlen, Denken Und Das Menschliche Gehirn by Antonio Damasio

Fühlen, Denken Und Das Menschliche Gehirn

In this book, the author challenges the traditional separation of mind and body by exploring the integral role emotions play in human reasoning and decision-making. Through a blend of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, the author argues that emotions are not just peripheral to rational thought but are essential to it, influencing our cognitive processes and shaping our personal and social behaviors. By examining case studies and scientific research, the book illustrates how the brain's emotional and rational functions are interconnected, ultimately proposing a more holistic understanding of human consciousness and the mind-body relationship.
