Book summary


In this determined attempt to accurately define human consciousness, a Professor of Psychology introduces his revolutionary theory that argues that consciousness is a learned process, rather than something that began back in animal evolution. As he contemplates the complexities of defining consciousness, he remarks: "Even if we had a complete writing diagram of the nervous system, we would not be able to answer our basic question."
