Synopsis of Descartes' Error
En este lúcido y atractivo libro, el renombrado neurólogo Antonio Damasio demuestra lo que muchos de nosotros sospechábamos: las emociones no son un lujo, son esenciales para el pensamiento racional. El error de Descartes lleva al lector a un viaje fascinante de descubrimiento científico, comenzando con el caso de Phineas Gage, un capataz de construcción que en 1848 sobrevivió a un extraño accidente en el que una barra de hierro de 3 1/2 pies atravesó su cabeza, y continuando con las experiencias de Damasio con pacientes neurológicos modernos afectados por daño cerebral. Lejos de interferir con la racionalidad, su investigación nos muestra que la ausencia de emoción y sentimiento puede romper la racionalidad y hacer que la toma de decisiones sabias sea casi imposible.
