Détails du produit

Get the insightful book 'Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain' at Ubuy - a Gabon. Explore the complexities of emotions and dive into philosophical wisdom.
  • A clear, accessbile investigation into the philosophical and scientific foundations of human life, from one of the world's leading neuroscientists (San Francisco Chronicle).Joy, sorrow, jealousy, and awe—these and other feelings are the stuff of our daily lives. In the seventeenth century, the philosopher Spinoza devoted much of his life's work examining how these emotions supported human survival, yet hundreds of years later the biological roots of what we feel remain a mystery. Antonio Damasio—whose earlier books explore rational behavior and the notion of the self—rediscovers a man whose work ran counter to all the thinking of his day, pairing Spinoza's insights with his own innovative scientific research to help us understand what we're made of, and what we're here for.

Neuroscience Editorial Review

**** Antonio Damasio's "Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain" presents a captivating fusion of philosophy, neuroscience, and eloquent writing. Damasio adopts 17th-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza as a central figure in his exploration of emotions and feelings, illuminating the often complex interplay between bodily responses and psychological experiences. Damasio critiques the dualistic view of mind and body, favoring a more integrated understanding of human experience—a perspective that resonates deeply with readers. His writing is rich and engaging, at times bordering on lyrical, which enhances the reader's engagement with dense scientific concepts. The philosopher's perspective provides emotional depth to the otherwise technical examination of neuroscience, positing that emotions are deeply rooted in our physiological responses, while feelings arise from our ability to contemplate these emotions. This holistic view presents an opportunity for dialogue between psychiatry and psychology, urging professionals in both fields to Consider the balance between biological and psychological approaches for optimal patient care. While Damasio's insights are profoundly thought-provoking, one critique arises from his treatment of the theme of life's meaning. It becomes apparent that he may underplay the challenges faced by individuals in extreme circumstances, such as poverty and oppression. Although he acknowledges these realities, his focus on self-discovery and meaning-making may lack universal applicability. This nuanced discussion could further enhance the credibility of his argument regarding the necessity of understanding emotions. Overall, "Looking for Spinoza" is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and philosophy, and the complexities of human emotional life. Damasio's engaging narrative style, combined with his deep understanding of the biological substrates of emotions, makes this book a valuable addition to the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy. **
