Download or read book Original and Tribal Minds written by Andrew Brown and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What started out as an explanation for autistic behaviour has with twelve years of obsessive thought become the basis for a profound shift in thinking about psychology. The author takes the idea that we have been created by evolution and that gives us our psychology. He models this psychology layer on layer right from the start explaining everything from the cause of our fears, to friendship to the autistic and normal personality. This new model provides a twist in the tale. There isn't one normal personality there are two. The autistic personality is one of them the normal personality is the other. "Original and Tribal Minds" is essential reading for anybody that really wants to understand the autistic personality. It is essential reading for anybody interested in seeing psychology in a new light.
Download or read book Original Minds written by Eleanor Wachtel and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleanor Wachtel’s award-winning CBC Radio programme Writers & Company has set the gold standard for intelligent, insightful, riveting interviews. To mark the dawn of the new millennium, Wachtel talked to some of the most inspiring and influential thinkers of our time -- people who have forever changed their area of specialty and influenced the world around them. As she writes in her introduction, "I wanted to interview people who had shaped the last century and whose influence would continue into the next...I hoped to have wide-ranging conversations with some of the most inspiring men and women of our time, people who’ve made a difference." And what an outstanding list of people she met: Jonathan Miller — internationally acclaimed theatre and opera director, writer, member of Beyond the Fringe comedy troupe Jane Goodall — primatologist and scientist best known for her work with chimpanzees Bernardo Bertolucci — director whose films including the Oscar-winning The Last Emperor and Last Tango in Paris George Steiner — teacher, literary critic and theorist Desmond Tutu — former Archbishop of South Africa and co-chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Susan Sontag — writer of novels, essays, works of non-fiction, and plays. In America won the National Book Award in 2000. Amartya Sen — Nobel Prize winner in Economics (1998) Gloria Steinem — feminist and activist, author whose 1983 collection of essays is titled Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions Jared Diamond — teacher, Pulitzer Prize winner for Guns, Germs and Steel Oliver Sacks — neurologist, best known for his books Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat Jane Jacobs — internationally respected commentator on city design and planning Umberto Eco — "the Pavarotti of Semiotics" and writer of the international bestseller The Name of the Rose Mary Douglas — anthropologist, author of the classic Purity and Danger (1966) Noam Chomsky — world-famous linguist and dissident intellectual Arthur C. Clarke — writer, best known for his science fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey Harold Bloom — "one of the world’s most influential critic-scholar-theorists" according to The New York Times Each interview enlightens not only the subject’s master area but how we see the world and our role in it. Not content to sit back on their intellectual laurels, Wachtel’s subjects seem driven to influence their world and encourage us to do likewise. As Jane Goodall says, "The nicest thing I’m told after lectures is that I make people realize that their lives have more value. And thousands of children from all over the world have said, ‘You taught me that because you did it, I can do it too.’ That’s amazing. That makes it all—all this effort—really worthwhile." A book for Eleanor Wachtel’s many devotees and for anyone who has a curiosity about the fascinating intersection of people and ideas, Original Minds is a captivating read.

Book Synopsis Implanted Minds by : Heiner Fangerau
Download or read book Implanted Minds written by Heiner Fangerau and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intracerebral interventions raise particular ethical issues. For instance, attempts at replacing lost or altered brain cells with the help of stem cells or the therapeutic application of Deep Brain Stimulation would have morally relevant implications. Many medically relevant questions and ethical concerns need to be clarified before these intracerebral interventions can become routine procedure: If the brain is conceived as the carrier of an individual's personality or of the self then operations on the brain can be seen as intrusions upon one's personality. The book addresses historical, philosophical, social and legal implications of these new developments in the neurosciences and aims at resolving some of the dilemmas that go hand in hand with »implanted minds«.

Download or read book Our Own Minds written by Radu J. Bogdan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument that in response to sociocultural pressures, human minds develope self-consciousness by activating a complex machinery of self-regulation. In Our Own Minds, Radu Bogdan takes a developmental perspective on consciousness--its functional design in particular--and proposes that children's functional capacity for consciousness is assembled during development out of a variety of ontogenetic adaptations that respond mostly to sociocultural challenges specific to distinct stages of childhood. Young human minds develop self-consciousness--in the broad sense of being conscious of the self's mental and behavioral relatedness to the world--because they face extraordinary and escalating sociocultural pressures that cannot be handled without setting in motion a complex executive machinery of self-regulation under the guidance of an increasingly sophisticated intuitive psychology. Bogdan suggests that self-consciousness develops gradually during childhood. Children move from being oriented toward the outside world in early childhood to becoming (at about age four) oriented also toward their own minds. Bogdan argues that the sociocultural tasks and practices that children must assimilate and engage in competently demand the development of an intuitive psychology (also known as theory of mind or mind reading); the intuitive psychology assembles a suite of executive abilities (intending, controlling, monitoring, and so on) that install self-consciousness and drive its development. Understanding minds, first the minds of others and then our own, drives the development of self-consciousness, world-bound or extrovert at the beginning and later mind-bound or introvert. This asymmetric development of the intuitive psychology drives a commensurate asymmetric development of self-consciousness.
