Matthew Owen

Measuring the Immeasurable Mind

Where Contemporary Neuroscience Meets the Aristotelian Tradition

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Matthew Owen argues in Measuring the Immeasurable Mind that it is possible to empirically detect and measure nonphysical consciousness. Toward this end, Owen proposes a model of neural correlates of consciousness informed by Aristotle's understanding of causal powers and Aquinas's view of human nature.
