At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes' still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion - and indeed our future.

Un audiolibro di "paleo-psicologia" che si propone di dare un'idea di questa affascinante e sofisticata teoria sull'origine della coscienza...

Il libro presenta, per la prima volta in italiano, un'antologia dei saggi più significativi di Julian Jaynes, in cui lo psicologo americano delinea la sua originale tesi sull'origine della coscienza. Attraverso un viaggio appassionante fra teoria del linguaggio, testimonianze storico-letterarie e osservazioni neurofisiologiche, Jaynes mostra che la coscienza è soltanto una forma recente, faticosamente conquistata, che si distacca dal fondo arcaico della "mente bicamerale".
