Other Press LLC Brain And The Inner World by Mark Solms , Oliver Turnbull
The Brain and the Inner World is an eagerlyawaited account of a momentous revolution. Subjective mental states like consciousness emotion and dreaming were once confined to the realm of philosophy psychoanalysis and the human sciences. These topics now assume center stage in leading neuroscientific laboratories around the world. This shift has produced an explosion of new insights into the natural laws that govern our inner life. By two pioneers in the field The Brain and the Inner World guides us through the exciting new discoveries showing how old psychodynamic concepts are being forged into a scientific framework for understanding subjective experience. It is not that the mind is reduced to neurobiology. Rather thanks to neurobiology we are free to believe in the power of the mind. The neurosciences will soon be able to argue with Plato Descartes James Freud and Lacan about the mysterious connections between emotions experience will reason and creativity.
