The Evolution of Consciousness of Darwin, Freud, and Cranial Fire: The Origins of the Way We Think

by Robert Ornstein
$8.90
The Evolution of Consciousness of Darwin, Freud, and Cranial Fire: The Origins of the Way We Think
The Evolution of Consciousness of Darwin, Freud, and Cranial Fire: The Origins of the Way We Think

Exploring origins of human thought evolution

Have you ever pondered why our minds work the way they do? Ornstein's "The Evolution of Consciousness" takes you on a journey which might reshape your understanding of human thought. Using Darwin's evolutionary principles as a lens rather than Freud's psychoanalytic approach, this book promises a compelling dive into the adaptive nature of the brain. It's an engaging read for anyone interested in the crossroads of psychology, biology, and the development of human consciousness.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Based on his life's research, the author of the bestseller The Psychology of Consciousness provides a provocative look at the evolution of the mind. In Evolution of Consciousness, Robert Ornstein explains that we are not rational but adaptive, and that it is Darwin, not Freud, who is the central scientist of the brain.
