The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth of the SelfBasic Books, 17 мар. 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 276 WeÕre used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a self exists. The conscious self is the content of a model created by our brainÑan internal image, but one we cannot experience as an image. Everything we experience is Òa virtual self in a virtual reality.Ó But if the self is not Òreal,Ó why and how did it evolve? How does the brain construct it? Do we still have souls, free will, personal autonomy, or moral accountability? In a time when the science of cognition is becoming as controversial as evolution, The Ego Tunnel provides a stunningly original take on the mystery of the mind. |
