![]()
Tom's Bookstore (5) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Have read for school and still remember some parts, a basic book to understand António Damasio and dont not so easy to understand as scientific (but it makes part of the science to be not so easy to understand). A case very well explained and have to publically rated it because why not ( ![]() Didn't hold much new information for me, because its contents have grown so accepted and foundational in the 25 years since publication. Nevertheless it provides a solid fundamental overview in a very readable way, despite also dealing in a bit of technical details. El inicio de este libro parte de una premisa falsa. El Cogito cartesiano es una hipótesis metodológica, un inicio sobre el que empezar un sistema filosófico. Es un tontería creer que Descartes no supiera que primero existimos y después pensamos. Creo que Damasio debería de haber utilizado otro recurso en el que sustentar su libro. Claramente no entiende a Descartes ni el método filosófico en general. rationaliteit kan niet zonder emoties. de hersenen die denken, berekenen en beslissen, zijn geen andere dan de hersenen die lachen, huilen, liefhebben, verafschuwen of genieten. het hart heeft redenen waarvan de rede gebruik moet maken. The accounts of how different types of brain damage affect decision making and emotion are really fascinating, and I enjoyed the discussions of the role of emotion in decision-making and of the close interrelationship of body and mind. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

In the centuries since Descartes famously proclaimed, 'I think, therefore I am,' science has often overlooked emotions as the source of a person's true being. Even modern neuroscience has tended until recently to concentrate on the cognitive aspects of brain function, disregarding emotions. This attitude began to change with the publication of DESCARTES' ERROR. Antonio Damasio challenged traditional ideas about the connection between emotions and rationality. In this wonderfully engaging book, Damasio takes the reader on a journey of scientific discovery through a series of case studies, demonstrating what many of us have long suspected- emotions are not a luxury, they are essential to rational thinking and to normal social behaviour.
