Bin ich mein Gehirn?
Was macht das menschliche Bewusstsein aus?

Der britische Bestsellerautor Tim Parks spricht mit einem Philosophen, , einer Entwicklungspsychologin, einem Psychiater und einer Hirnforscherin über die neuesten Erkenntnisse in der Erforschung des Bewusstseins und schafft es tatsächlich, ein solch komplexes Thema unterhaltsam und intelligent zu umkreisen. Er will nicht glauben, dass die Psyche nur ein Produkt neuronaler Verknüpfungen ist, hakt immer wieder nach, welche Bedeutung die wissenschaftlichen Rohdaten für das menschliche Empfinden haben. Er vermutet Lücken in den Theorien, schildert persönliche Erlebnisse, fragt nach Erkenntnissen über Traumforschung, Meditation, Musikempfindung und Depression.

Naturgemäß bleibt es beim Umkreisen des Themas, vieles bleibt unbeantwortet und soll ausdrücklich als Anregung verstanden werden, sich mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen.

Lesenswert!
