  • - A Study in Consciousness
    af Nicholas Humphrey
    319,95 kr.

    Humphries offers an explanation of why consciousness makes compelling evolutionary sense. From sensations that probably began in bodily expression to evolutionary advantages of a conscious self, he tracks the "hard problem" of consciousness to its source and its solution, one in which the very hardness of the problem may make all the difference.

    A mere "symbol" of medicine the placebo nonetheless sometimes produces "real" results. Medical science has largely discounted the placebo effect, but Harrington argues that the phenomenon is a "real" entity in its own right, one that has much to teach us about how symbols, settings, and human relationships literally get under our skin.

    978,95 kr.

    Do drug addicts have an illness, or is the addiction under their control? Should they be treated as patients or as criminals?

    The scientific research literature on memory is enormous, yet no single book has focused on the complex interrelationships of memory and belief.
