Crick es de los científicos más eclécticos de los últimos tiempos. Hicieron bien en UK al nombrar al principal edificio de investigación con su nombre. Luego del Nobel, ya libre de las presiones por "hacer algo", Crick, que es de los pocos científicos que hizo descubrimientos pasada la tercera década, dedica su intelecto a estudiar su intelecto. ¿Cómo puede un cerebro estudiarse a si mismo? Este es el relato del libro. Apasionante. ( ) The bulk of the book is spent on describing how the brain, step by step, processes the information that the retina provides into the 3-dimensional 'motion picture' we observe, and which parts of the brain are involved and what they do. He stresses several times that patients are not aware about several types of damage. And that blind sight exists. Only at the very end the author carefully speculates on the relation between what he described, and consciousness/the soul. I think the title of the book should have been: A Technical Explanation of Vision, with maybe a subtitle And Some Speculations about Consciousness. That would have been way more honest, though he would have sold far less copies... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Traditionally, the human soul is regarded as a nonphysical concept that can only be examined by psychiatrists and theologists. In his new book, The Astonishing Hypothesis, Nobel Laureate Francis Crick boldly straddles the line between science and spirituality by examining the soul from the standpoint of a modern scientist, basing the soul's existence and function on an in-depth examination of how the human brain "sees."
