Anthropology of the brain: consciousness, culture, and free will
Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press. Edited by Gusti Gould (2014)
Abstract
Anthropology of the Brain In this unique exploration of the mysteries of the human brain, Roger Bartra shows that consciousness is a phenomenon that occurs not only in the mind but also in an external network, a symbolic system. He argues that the symbolic systems created by humans in art, language, in cooking or in dress, are the key to understanding human consciousness.Other Versions
