Описание: We are really less in "the decade of the brain" than in the third century of continuing research and theory on mind/brain relations. None the less, the subject now asserts itself with special vigour. Modern technology has provided not only artificial versions of what seems to be highly developed intelligence, but also high-fidelity imaging techniques for visualizing the human brain in action. It is worth remembering that in such matters technical progress is likely to outpace refinements in perspective; indeed, technical advances are likely to shape perspective. Those inclined to defend indifference to the past contend that the issue is a scientific one, the central terms of which were simply unknown in ancient or medieval times or even a century ago. What Aristotle or Kant thought about the mind is not likely to be any more informing than what they thought about gravitation or energy. But such a dismissal begs the question: is the issue of mind one that science is to settle? Such a dismissal also prejudges the extent to which past thinkers might even contribute to a clarification of the scientific aspects of the issue. This book is intended for undergraduates of philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, or history or psychology courses and also interested general readers.

Описание:
An account of the emergence of the mind: how the brain acquired self-awareness, functional autonomy, the ability to think, and the power of speech.
How did the human mind emerge from the collection of neurons that makes up the brain? How did the brain acquire self-awareness, functional autonomy, language, and the ability to think, to understand itself and the world? In this volume in the Essential Knowledge series, Zoltan Torey offers an accessible and concise description of the evolutionary breakthrough that created the human mind.
Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and linguistics, Torey reconstructs the sequence of events by which Homo erectus became Homo sapiens. He describes the augmented functioning that underpins the emergent mind -- a new ("off-line") internal response system with which the brain accesses itself and then forms a selection mechanism for mentally generated behavior options. This functional breakthrough, Torey argues, explains how the animal brain's "awareness" became self-accessible and reflective -- that is, how the human brain acquired a conscious mind. Consciousness, unlike animal awareness, is not a unitary phenomenon but a composite process. Torey's account shows how protolanguage evolved into language, how a brain subsystem for the emergent mind was built, and why these developments are opaque to introspection. We experience the brain's functional autonomy, he argues, as free will.
Torey proposes that once life began, consciousness had to emerge -- because consciousness is the informational source of the brain's behavioral response. Consciousness, he argues, is not a newly acquired "quality," "cosmic principle," "circuitry arrangement," or "epiphenomenon," as others have argued, but an indispensable working component of the living system's manner of functioning.
