🔥John Eccles The human mystery The Gifford Lectures

Based on his prestigious Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1977–1978, Eccles examines the relationship between brain and consciousness, drawing on neuroscience, philosophy and theology.

Rather than reducing human thought to purely biological processes, Eccles argues for the uniqueness of human consciousness and discusses free will, personal identity and the enduring mystery of the mind. The book remains an important contribution to twentieth-century debates on neuroscience, philosophy of mind and the dialogue between science and religion.
