More about the book
The Human Psyche is an in-depth exploration of dualist-interactionism, a concept Eccles developed with Karl Popper in the context of a wide variety of brain activities relating to self-consciousness. Opening with a critical discussion of materialist hypotheses on the relationship of mind & brain, it aims to demonstrate the explanatory power of dualist-interactionism in contrast to the poverty & inadequacy of materialist theories of the mind. The mind is accepted as an entity of divine origin which interacts with & controls the material brain.
