Incomplete Nature: How Mind Emerged from Matter

Incomplete Nature: How Mind Emerged from Matter

<p><strong>“A tour de force encompassing biology, neurobiology, metaphysics, information theory, physics, and semiotics.”―<em>Publishers Weekly</em></strong></p> As scientists study the minutiae of subatomic particles, neural connections, and molecular compounds, their attempts at a “theory of everything” harbor a glaring omission: they still cannot explain us, the thoughts and perceptions that truly make us what we are. A masterwork that brings together science and philosophy, <em>Incomplete Nature</em> offers a revolutionary, captivating account of how life and consciousness emerged, revealing how our desires, feelings, and intentions can be understood in terms of the physical world. 12 illustrations
