ON THE CONTEXTS OF THINGS HUMAN

“A systematic journey into the human mind and human nature and their relationships to the human brain — based on the most current neuroscience and on introspection and deep reflection by an eminent theoretical neuroscientist.”

“At once fascinating and thought provoking modern elaboration of topics that have been puzzling human kind at least since the days of the Plato's Phaedo and Allegory of the Cave.”

“An engaging, penetrating, comprehensive book which delineates humanist qualities of value, knowing, and aesthetics as central operative agents in daily brain function. It is R J MacGregor's pinnacle — a must for scholarly and lay students of human nature, and for neurobiologists seeking to model the full, global, self-referential character of the brain.”
