¿Qué es la conciencia y cuál es su función? Nicholas Humphrey aborda estas preguntas explorando cómo la conciencia se desarrolla y evoluciona en los seres humanos. En este libro, Humphrey desafía las teorías tradicionales sobre la evolución del intelecto humano, proponiendo que los problemas sociales son fundamentales para nuestra evolución. La conciencia, según el autor, es la clave para comprender a los demás, permitiéndonos explorar nuestra propia psicología y, por ende, la de quienes nos rodean. Este libro invita a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza de la conciencia y su papel en la vida social humana.
Nicholas Keynes Humphrey is an English neuropsychologist and writer whose work has focused on the evolution of consciousness and social intelligence. He carried out early research on visual perception after cortical damage in monkeys and collaborated with Lawrence Weiskrantz in research that led to the discovery of blindsight. He moved into ethology and, after doing fieldwork with mountain gorillas, was one of the first to formulate the social intelligence hypothesis. His more recent research, in collaboration especially with Daniel Dennett, has concentrated on the science and philosophy of phenomenal consciousness. His work builds towards a materialist theory of conscious experience in humans and animals, that explains it as a life-affirming illusion. These ideas, popularised in books including A History of the Mind (1992), Seeing Red (2006), Soul Dust (2011) and Sentience (2023), have had considerable impact but remain controversial.
