Synopsis

Princeton University psychologist Julian Jaynes's revolutionary theory on the origin of consciousness or the "modern mind" remains as relevant and thought-provoking as when it was first proposed. Supported by recent discoveries in neuroscience, Jaynes's ideas force us to rethink conventional views of human history and psychology, and have profound implications for many aspects of modern life. Included in this volume are rare and never before seen articles, lectures, interviews, and in-depth discussions that both clear up misconceptions as well as extend Jaynes's theory into new areas such as the nature of the self, dreams, emotions, art, music, therapy, and the consequences and future of consciousness.

** Expanded to include a new, previously unpublished wide-ranging 30-page interview with Julian Jaynes. Also available in a new hard cover case laminate collector's edition: https://www.amazon.com/Julian-Jaynes-Collection-Marcel-Kuijsten/dp/0979074495/ **
