Produktbeschreibung

Praise for PROUST WAS A NEUROSCIENTIST

'Lehrer is gifted with the ability to find philosophy in science and stray bits of science buried amid the rubble of literary history. He is less critic than armchair philosopher, searching for meaning anywhere great thinkers have left their footprints.' San Francisco Chronicle

'Marks the arrival of an important new thinker, who finds in the science and the arts wonder and beauty, and with equal confidence says wise and fresh things about both.' Los Angeles Times Book Review
'In this amazing first book [Lehrer] bridges 'the two cultures' with ease and grace. His clear and vivid writing - incisive and thoughtful, yet sensitive and modest - is a special pleasure.' OLIVER SACKS

'A slim, brainy book about the brain, modernist art, and literature . . . Lehrer writes skilfully and coherently about both art and science - no small feat.' Entertainment Weekly
