The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness

by António Damásio
The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness
The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness

Consciousness melded in emotion, body, and survival.

If you’re intrigued by the deep mysteries of our minds and how our emotions, body, and consciousness intertwine, you’ll find Damasio's exploration fascinating. He doesn't just theorize; he brings years of patient observation and research into a readable journey. It might change how you understand the mechanics of your own consciousness and the profound role emotions play in it.

Description

The publication of this book is an event in the making. All over the world scientists, psychologists, and philosophers are waiting to read Antonio Damasio's new theory of the nature of consciousness and the construction of the self. A renowned and revered scientist and clinician, Damasio has spent decades following amnesiacs down hospital corridors, waiting for comatose patients to awaken, and devising ingenious research using PET scans to piece together the great puzzle of consciousness. In his bestselling Descartes' Error, Damasio revealed the critical importance of emotion in the making of reason. Building on this foundation, he now shows how consciousness is created. Consciousness is the feeling of what happens—our mind noticing the body's reaction to the world and responding to that experience. Without our bodies, there can be no consciousness, which is at heart a mechanism for survival that engages body, emotion, and mind in the glorious spiral of human life. A hymn to the possibilities of human existence, a magnificent work of ingenious science, a gorgeously written book, The Feeling of What Happens is already being hailed as a classic.
