Summary note

"Hardly any other field of research has undergone developments as turbulent as those within neuroscience. At the same time, the field has become the topic of fierce interdisciplinary debates that predominantly revolve around one single question: Are neuroscientific findings forcing us to revise our established conception of man? Following in the footsteps of his bestselling work Aus Sicht des Gehirns, Gerhard Roth both comprehensibly and elegantly outlines a conception of man as an intellectual-social being striving to comprehend the meaning of itself and its environment. Humanity in its complexity, he concludes, cannot be grasped by neuroscience or by the humanities and social sciences alone - and yet it is integrated within the unity of nature."--From publisher's website.
