I see you have a number of books regarding the subject of "consciousness". I would be interested in reading something about this subject from a more philosophical and/or scientific view. I noticed your rating for both the user illusion and the breakdown of the bicameral mind. Which of these two or is there another you would suggest on this topic for someone just getting into this subject? And yes I did see that you are the editor of one of these but I would still like to know if that is a good place to start, or if another book would be a better background to begin with.
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)
Hi Marcel,
Great to be friends,
I added your book to my to-read list...because I am interested in learning more about the bicameral mind.
I think it is a daring and unusual theory about the mind, its abilities and evolvement.
I also want to read how history gets explained with bicameralism in “mind”...As well as vice versa.
I am not trained in your field, it is for me just a “hobby-interest”. But I gather that the book will be approachable for someone like me too?
Anyway...I am looking forward to reading it. Although it might take a while before I get around to it.
Regards...Isabella...
