| Summary, etc. | From the best-selling author of How to Change Your Mind, a pioneering search for consciousness in the brain and beyond<br/>When it comes to consciousness, there is one point scientists, philosophers and artists all agree on- that it feels like something to be ourselves. And yet, the fact that each and every one of us has a subjective experience of the world continues to be one of the greatest mysteries in nature. How is it that our mental operations are accompanied by feelings, thoughts and a sense of self? What would studying the inner life scientifically even look like?<br/>What began for Michael Pollan as a startling awareness of his own consciousness soon evolved into a deeper fascination with this strange and elusive phenomenon. In A World Appears, Pollan traces the unmapped continent that is consciousness from several radically different perspectives - scientific, philosophical, spiritual, historical and psychedelic - to see what each has to teach us about this fundamental fact of our lives.<br/>Here Pollan ventures beyond the brain labs attempting to find neural explanations for our felt reality, and discovers the latest cutting-edge advances in the field. He introduces us to plant neurobiologists studying nature's surprisingly complex intelligence; neuroscientists and psychoanalysts attempting to engineer feeling into AI; and novelists recreating our slippery stream of consciousness.<br/>Pollan's dazzling exploration of consciousness uncovers a world far deeper than our everyday reality - and perhaps even beyond it. |
