The quest to understand the mind has motivated some of history's most profound thinkers. But only in our own time are we beginning to see the true complexity of this quest, as today's philosophers draw on the latest evidence from neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and other fields to probe deeply into the inner workings of the mind.

Very Digestible & Fascinating Overview
Revisado: 01-10-18
What did you love best about Philosophy of Mind: Brains, Consciousness, and Thinking Machines?
If you are interested in this topic, you already know how fascinating it can be. Patrick Grim is a great teacher - thoughtful, engaging, and concise.
Who was your favorite character and why?
David Rosenthal and Descartes.
Have you listened to any of Professor Patrick Grim’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. But if I was really rich, I would hire him to teach me philosophy.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Loved learning about the higher-order thinking theory of consciousness.
Any additional comments?
The supplemental PDF is great - he has a glossary of relevant concepts and scientists.

Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo - he's just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn't absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.

More about how to not be concerned with "image"
Revisado: 01-08-18
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No. Fumio's real problem seemed to be his concern about what other people think of him. By overcoming that, he was able to get rid of everything because most of what he had served the purpose of portraying an image. This is not my problem when it comes to having too many things, so this did not help me.
Did Goodbye, Things inspire you to do anything?
No.

No subject is bigger than reality itself, and nothing is more challenging to understand, since what counts as reality is undergoing continual revision and has been for centuries. The quest to pin down what's real and what's illusory is both philosophical and scientific, a metaphysical search for ultimate reality that goes back to the ancient Greeks. For the last 400 years, this search has been increasingly guided by scientists, who create theories and test them in order to define and redefine reality.

History, science, & philosophy combined
Revisado: 04-29-16
Awesome lecture. It was a mix of science , history, and philosophy. Exactly what a lecture should be - great overview of scientific discoveries - thought provoking - and introduced me to new ideas like quantum biology .
Highly recommended .
