Explaining the Mind
Since the second half of the 20th century we have been witnessing a scientific revolution. Its focus has been on the explanation of how the brain works and creates the mind. The new and often surprising accounts of such varied phenomena as social bonds, emotions, language, creativity, morality, etc, have already influenced the contemporary worldview. The scope and depth of the new revolution is remarkable, but it comes as no surprise, given that the human brain is--arguably--the most complex system in the entire universe. Its complexity is stunning: billions of neurons, each of them capable of maintaining hundreds of thousands of connections, all responsible for our behaviour, thinking, decision-making, perception, beliefs. It is this incredibly complex system that underlies our mental life and makes us human. The contributors to this collection of essays represent various academic fields, including philosophy, primatology, psychology, and neuroscience. All these disciplines strive to achieve a better understanding of how the brain works and how it creates the mind.
