The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul

More about the book

Exploring the evolutionary transition to consciousness, the authors propose that learning is the key driving force behind the development of basic consciousness. They establish criteria for identifying this transition and suggest a marker for minimal consciousness, drawing parallels to the scientific identification of life. The book delves into the biological, psychological, and philosophical implications of their theory, offering a fresh perspective on how organisms evolved from lacking consciousness to experiencing it, as described by Aristotle.
