Secrets of the Mind: A Tale of Discovery and Mistaken Identity - Paperback

by A. G. Cairns-Smith (Author)

How can we reconcile Shakespeare's account of human behavior and that of modern brain science? That's the central question addressed by the noted Glasgow chemist and writer A.G. Cairns-Smith in this brief, witty, provocative, and highly accessible discussion of conscious awareness, free will, science, and the likely central role of quantum energy in understanding the mind. Secrets of the Mind is not only a splendid discussion of the central questions of consciousness and brain science, but a contribution to answering some of them.
