Product Description
These pages represent an intellectual and poetic odyssey that explores the very many theories of consciousness. The widely accepted notion holds that consciousness emanates from the brain. But how can clusters of neurons generate something so intangible as an image, an idea, an emotion, the sense of “I am”?
Written as a personal journal, this work weaves together readings, revelations, dreams, and visionary dialogues with figures such as Plato, Descartes, Darwin, Rumi, Teilhard de Chardin, Daniel Dennett and other great thinkers from the past and the present.
The author also travels along the paths of animal and plant consciousness, discovering signs of sensitivity and self-awareness in varying degrees. By the end of this journey, an unexpected convergence between science and metaphysics is revealed, inviting us to consider a new perspective on the passage from the material to the intangible.
