In 'And the Brain Created Man', Antonio Damasio explores the fascinating process by which the brain, a physical organ, generates the human mind, emotions, feelings, and consciousness. Damasio addresses the fundamental question of how the brain was able to elaborate thoughts and ideas, and how self-awareness arose, with all the positive and negative implications that this entails. With clear and emotional language, the author guides us through this complex and essential question about the human condition.
