Cent milliards de neurones en quête d'auteur

Edouard De Perrot

Description

Le débat qui persiste entre corps et esprit se stérilise bien souvent dans un combat inégal en raison de leur hétérogénéité non reconnue. L'esprit est hébergé par le corps, qui ne le contient ni ne le crée. A l'heure où l'on claironne que les techniques nouvelles permettent de voir l'esprit en action et d'affirmer que le cerveau pense, l'auteur tient que l'avancée spectaculaire des neurosciences cognitives en ce qui concerne cerveau, s'achoppe au boulet matérialiste qui la plombe et l'empêche de s'envoler en ce qui concerne l'esprit.
