The Mysterious matter of mind



Table of Contents and Introduction:

"One's view of the origin and nature of mind is of crucial importance both for an assessment of human worth and in the formation of a truly healthy philosophy of life.
Carefully examining historical outlooks on mind and brain, the author reviews various explanations which have been offered for the ascendancy of the mechanistic approach. He then presents the experimental findings of recent research which have led some of the most renowned scientists in the field to conclude that mind is more than matter and more than a mere by-product of the brain.
Such a conclusion provides a basis for rejecting the view that man is 'nothing but' a machine, without in any way minimizing how remarkable this machine is."
