Über diesen Titel

An accessible and engaging account of the mind and its connection to the brain.

The mind encompasses everything we experience, and these experiences are created by the brain - often without our awareness. Experience is private; we can't know the minds of others. But we also don't know what is happening in our own minds. In this book, E. Bruce Goldstein offers an accessible and engaging account of the mind and its connection to the brain. He takes as his starting point two central questions - what is the mind, and what is consciousness? - and leads listeners through topics that range from conceptions of the mind in popular culture to the wiring system of the brain. Throughout, he draws on the latest research, explaining its significance and relevance.

I'm extremely interested in the question of whether mind derives from matter or matter from mind, and I'm always highly irritated when I come across people who are fully convinced to have solved this question, one way or the other. Mr Goldstein is one of these people. He asserts over and over again that the brain produces the mind and that this were scientifically proved. The evidence he presents for this assertion has been refuted/debated many times but his conviction stands. When presenting the other side, he deliberately uses quite weak - easy to attack - arguments.

I really dislike his overall approach, and find his book quite useless as it neither presents a new perspective nor is extensive or unbiased enough to provide a comprehensive overview on the topic.

Biased, unconvincing and short
