| 概要 | Johnston (psychobiology, New Mexico State U.-Las Cruces) writes for the serious non-specialist who wants to explore the ways in which, as the author phrases it in his preface, "our conscious experienc...s depend on the nature of our evolved neural processes and not on the nature of the events in the world that activate those processes." His discussion of the evolution of human feelings draws on a full range of disciplines--from computer science, neurobiology, complexity, and evolutionshary psychology; his thesis is that feelings evolved like other biological phenomenon to ensure the survival of our genes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Why do we think some people are beautiful? Why do orgasms feel good? Why do we get angry? Anxious? In this intriguing book, biopsychologist Victor Johnston explores the origin of human feelings and shows us that they are not some strange accident of human nature, but are instead the basis of learning and reasoning. In the process, he offers a radical new view of reality: What we see, hear, smell, feel -- even what we consider beautiful -- is not an accurate representation of the world around us; rather, our feelings are illusions, shaped by millions of years of evolution. ln clear and colorful prose, Johnston helps us navigate the intimate relationship between our emotions and our biological survival -- and tells us what this means for human creativity, innovation, and, ultimately, free will. 続きを見る |
