La fonte nascosta Un viaggio alle origini della coscienza

How can brain activity give rise to consciousness? Philosopher of mind David Chalmers has called it the "hard problem" of contemporary neuroscience, and many consider it the greatest conundrum of all the sciences. It involves understanding not only which brain processes are related to consciousness, but also how they generate it. A problem that in this book published in Italy by Adelphi (2023) Mark Solms, a neuroscientist and psychoanalyst, tackles with a resolutely unconventional approach, in which his research on dreams and conversations with numerous brain-injured patients converge.

Speakers include: Paolo Migone, Andrea Clarici, Vittorio Lingiardi, Rosa Spagnolo. Stefano Boeri, President Triennale Milano introduces the talk.
