The Origin Of Consciousness: The Natural Selection Of Choicemaking Systems,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
To understand the origin of consciousness, we need to be able to answer a surprisingly simple question: What biological function, present throughout evolutionary history, could have evolved to become consciousness? One possible answer to this question is 'choicemaking.' All life forms make choices. And choicemaking systems have evolved in the same way that visible physical features have evolved. This book traces choicemaking from the relatively simple chemically automated systems of early singlecell life forms to the complex neurological systems we see in humans and other modern animals. It makes the case that consciousness is a form of complex choicemaking that derives from this evolutionary history. Recognizing consciousness as a form of choicemaking opens new possibilities for the study and understanding of how consciousness actually works. The book also gives a clear account of the evolution of self from early animals' need to choose between mutually exclusive choices about how to move. The ChoiceMaking Theory of consciousness could allow a modern research facility to produce a 'strange attractor' picture of the self, and begin serious research on self functions.In The Origin of Consciousness, Mark brings a fresh perspective to a field weighted down by centuries of arcane and circular argument. If you have gotten lost in this thicket, or just given up on consciousness as an unsolvable mystery, you will enjoy this new approach.
