Why do we think that things happen in the way that they do? Why do
we think that some things are true, and other things false? Why do
we maintain that some things are good, and other things evil? These
are questions that have puzzled thinkers for millennia. In the
past, they have been answered by separating our emotional from our
rational responses. But recent research in the neurosciences
suggests that the questions now deserve very different answers. In
this fascinating and highly praised book, John Bowker shows that
reason and emotion work much more closely together in forming
opinions and judgements than has previously been supposed. If faith
and belief are rooted in rationality, not separate from it (as
thinkers like Richard Dawkins might propose), this discovery has
stunning implications for our understanding of human identity, mind
and consciousness. Illuminating some of the biggest issues that
there are - issues of ethics, religion, aesthetics and truth - "The
Sacred Neuron" makes a consistently original and stimulating
contribution to key themes in 'science and religion'.
