«La búsqueda científica del alma» is Francis Crick's essay, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (386 pages, in Spanish).
Crick, one of the key figures in the discovery of the structure of DNA, argues in this essay that consciousness needs no supernatural explanations: it would be the result of neuronal activity. Against the traditional notion of the soul, he proposes that brain processes suffice to explain the mind, a hypothesis that invites rethinking human identity from neurophysiology.
Translation of The Astonishing Hypothesis, published in 1994, with an introduction by José Manuel Sánchez Ron and translation by Francisco Páez de la Cadena.
Work for readers of popular science, neuroscience and philosophy of mind, with an interest in the relationship between the brain and consciousness.
