Description

At the heart of this seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that consciousness didn't begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3000 years ago & is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually all aspects of psychology, history & religion.PrefaceIntroductionThe mind of man The consciousness of consciousness Consciousness The mind of Iliad The bicameral mind The double brain The origin of civilization --The witness of history Gods, graves & idols Literate bicameral theocracies The causes of consciousness A change of mind in Mesopotamia The intellectual consciousness of Greece The moral consciousness of the KhabiruVestiges of the bicameral mind in the modern world The quest for authorization Of prophets and possession Of poetry & music Hypnosis Schizophrenia The auguries of scienceIndex
