The Spontaneous Brain

The book challenges the traditional mind-body problem by proposing a focus on the world-brain relationship instead. Georg Northoff argues that the mind-body debate is conceptually flawed and suggests that understanding consciousness and mental features requires a broader perspective. He advocates for a Copernican revolution in philosophy, shifting the focus from internal mental states to the external interactions between the world and the brain. This new approach aims to provide a more coherent framework for examining the nature of consciousness and related phenomena.
