Consciousness Science

Tutti siamo convinti di sapere che cosa sia, salvo poi renderci conto, quando proviamo a spiegarla, che si tratta di una realtà ancora misteriosa: che cos'è l'emozione? Come possiamo sapere che una persona sta sperimentando una determinata emozione? Come possiamo comunicare le emozioni agli altri? Queste domande, che ognuno di noi si pone più o meno consapevolmente ogni giorno, sono le stesse che animano la riflessione filosofica sul tema sin dall'antichità. Nell'audiolibro, alcune delle più significative risposte offerte a tali interrogativi, da Platone alle neuroscienze.

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.

What happens when we accept that everything we feel and think stems not from an immaterial spirit but from electrical and chemical activity in our brains? In this thought-provoking narrative - drawn from professional expertise as well as personal life experiences - trailblazing neurophilosopher Patricia S. Churchland grounds the philosophy of mind in the essential ingredients of biology. She reflects with humor on how she came to harmonize science and philosophy, the mind and the brain, abstract ideals and daily life.

Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time?

In science fiction, artificial intelligence takes the shape of computers that can speak like people, think for themselves, and sometimes act against us. Reality of course is vastly different, though in many ways computers surpass their fictional counterparts. This book reviews work in the field and covers topics from chess-playing to quantum computing. The writers tackle how to make computers more powerful, how we define consciousness, what the hard problems are, and even how computers might be built once the limits of silicon chips have been reached.
