Description

‘We are our brains’ is the mantra of neuroscience. ‘We are our genes’ is the slogan of evolutionary psychology. ‘We are our algorithms’ is the watchword of the tech giants. These are stories we tell about ourselves. But there is another story: We Are Our Minds. How does this older narrative stand up to the scrutiny of the new sciences of the human brain? And what happens when we turn the tables, putting our minds to neuroscience? ‘We Are More Than Our Brains’ goes in search of a deeper concept of mind, able to rise to the political, moral and spiritual challenges of the twenty-first century. We need a larger, more nourishing story about who we are and where we are going. We are more than confederations of neurons, genes and algorithms. We are selves, persons and societies with minds of our own.
