The Lost Self: Pathologies of the Brain and Identity is an in-depth
exploration of one of the most mysterious and controversial topics
in neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry and psychology-namely, the
search for the biological basis of the self. The book is a guide to
understanding how the brain creates who we are, and what happens
when things go wrong. For the first time in a single volume, some
of the foremost experts in the fields of philosophy, cognitive
neuroscience, neurology, and psychology join together to explore
the neurobiology of the self. They first lay the foundation for an
understanding of the topic. Then they provide fascinating and
detailed accounts of how the self is transformed in patients with
brain lesions, autism, and dementia, as well as in drug induced
states, during meditation, and while dreaming. Their analysis of
these disorders and states is used as a springboard toward a deeper
understanding of how a brain creates a self. This fascinating
volume will be invaluable to neuroscientists, psychologists,
psychiatrists, neurologists, and philosophers of mind, and to their
students and trainees.
