Description

Being Biological presents an overview of core elements of contemporary neuroscience and argues for the relevance of neuroscientific models for a broader understanding of the nature of human experience. The book starts with the basic concepts of neural network design and introduces the main structures of the brain itself. Being Biological then describes contemporary neuroscientific accounts of vision, emotion, the development of the infant brain, and memory. The book concludes with an exploration of the consonance between these accounts and aspects of both recent phenomenological reflection and the classical Chinese poetic tradition.
