Mind and Brain: The Many-Faceted Problems
A now-classic discussion on the mind and the brain. Does the mind reside in the brain, or does the brain act as an interpreter of the mind? What is the nature of consciousness? Sir John Eccles, who was awarded the Nobel prize in medicine in 1963, authored several of the articles in this book and pulled together a wide range of scholars, East and West, and from the disciples of philosophy, neuroscience, anthropology, psychology, physics, and biology. Includes interdisciplinary discussion on chapters.

"The Great advantage and attraction of these essays are their interdisciplinary character with a willingness to consider other dimensions of the subject. The book is of value for all who are concerned with the mind or the brain, whatever their discipline."—International Social Science Review
