About this book
In this book the author has collected a number of his
important works and added an extensive commentary relating
his ideas to those of other prominentnames in the
consciousness debate. The view presented here is that of a
convinced dualist who challenges in a lively and humorous
way the prevailing materialist "doctrines" of many recent
works. Also included is a new attempt to explain mind-brain
interaction via a quantum process affecting the release of
neurotransmitters.
John Eccles received a knighthood in 1958 and was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Medicine/Physiology in 1963. He has
numerous other awards honouring his major contributions to
neurophysiology.
