This book is based on an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and neurophilosopher Patricia Churchland, UC San Diego. Pat Churchland has done extensive research in the fields of philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of the mind and neuroethics. During this mind-stretching conversation Pat explores how the brain works, how we are able to represent the external world of objects and our inner world of thoughts, self and consciousness.
This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Of Mice and Men, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter:
