An Anatomy Of Thought

What is the mind? What is the relationship between our minds and our bodies, and what is the relationship between what goes on in our minds and what goes on in our brains? In 'An Anatomy of Thought', Professor Ian Glynn lays out the state of current thinking on these questions. Assuming no specialised knowledge, and drawing on a dazzlingly wide range of disciplines - physiology, neurology, psychology, anthropology, linguistics and philosophy - he explains the nature of seeing, of language and of thought. He tells us not only what is known, but also how we have come to know it, and where the gaps remain in our knowledge.
