Consciousness Science

A diabetic woman awakens from a coma having forgotten the last 10 years of her life. A Haitian immigrant has nightmares that begin bleeding into his waking hours. A retired teacher loses the use of her right hand due to pain of no known origin. Noga Arikha began studying these patients and their confounding symptoms in order to explore how our physical experiences inform our identities. Soon after she initiated her work, the question took on unexpected urgency, as Arikha’s own mother began to show signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

This small audiobook provides pithy insights into the nature of consciousness as a virtual simulator, why we ask the question why from an evolutionary perspective, and the nature of transference among humans.

"Lorsque j'ai reçu votre première lettre, chère amie, je vous ai répondu immédiatement. Avoir de vos nouvelles plus de trente ans après m'a procuré une telle émotion que ma réaction ne pouvait être qu'un cri instantané. Votre deuxième lettre, que j'ai sous les yeux, je l'ai gardée longtemps avec moi, c'est seulement aujourd'hui que je tente de vous donner une réponse. La raison de ce retard, vous l'avez sans doute devinée, puisque votre missive contient une singulière requête : 'Parlez-moi de l'âme'..."

Emotions are the energies that fuel people's lives. Emotions are instilled in us as infants without our awareness. They reduce our rationality and cause suffering, yet successful people make decisions more rationally. Society teaches us that emotions are desirable, but they keep us repeating our patterns, a form of bondage.

The body is central to our sense of identity. Bodily awareness, says scientist-writer Moheb Costandi, is key to self-consciousness. In Body Am I, Costandi examines how the brain perceives the body, how that perception translates into our conscious experience of the body, and how that experience contributes to our sense of self. Along the way, he explores what can happen when the mechanisms of bodily awareness are disturbed, leading to such phenomena as phantom limbs, alien hands, and amputee fetishes.

Che cos'è la coscienza? È qualcosa di fisico? E che cos'è la realtà? È qualcosa di esterno, oggettivo, che possiamo davvero conoscere? E come? Dall'antichità a oggi, queste domande perturbanti non hanno smesso di far discutere filosofi e scienziati. Ma le loro risposte si sono sempre basate sul dualismo irriducibile tra mente e realtà, apparenza e mondo fisico, che ha scavato un fossato tra l'uomo e gli oggetti che lo circondano. Così la coscienza umana è diventata un mistero inafferrabile, un fenomeno interiore e soggettivo, e la natura un dato esteriore ed estraneo.

An unflinching and luminous memoir that explores a father’s philosophical transformation when he must reconsider the questions what makes us human? and whose life is worth living?
