Ever since humans walked out of the jungle and had free time to think about things other than food, sex, and shelter, people have been faced with these basic questions: What are we? Who are we? Is a person a body or a soul? Neuroscientistes are nuanced about the study of the human brain, but still confused about ourselves. In most existing scientific literature, information processing replaces the soul. So far, however, no scientist has offered convincing explanations of where and how consciousness is stored in the body. In this book, author Riccardo Manzotti explores the nature of consciousness. The concept of "consciousness" derives from a binary and opposing world view, in which matter is classified as consciousness, making consciousness look like a black hole. People don't know what consciousness is or where it is, they just think it exists, a mysterious existence. The author breaks down the logic of binary opposition, through interdisciplinary thinking, with vivid examples to illustrate his point: consciousness is matter, you see matter is your consciousness.

Abstract
Ever since humans walked out of the jungle and had free time to think about things other than food, sex, and shelter, people have been faced with these basic questions: What are we? Who are we? Is a person a body or a soul? Neuroscientistes are nuanced about the study of the human brain, but still confused about ourselves. In most existing scientific literature, information processing replaces the soul. So far, however, no scientist has offered convincing explanations of where and how consciousness is stored in the body. In this book, author Riccardo Manzotti explores the nature of consciousness. The concept of "consciousness" derives from a binary and opposing world view, in which matter is classified as consciousness, making consciousness look like a black hole. People don't know what consciousness is or where it is, they just think it exists, a mysterious existence. The author breaks down the logic of binary opposition, through interdisciplinary thinking, with vivid examples to illustrate his point: consciousness is matter, you see matter is your consciousness.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
