«The Undiscovered Mind: How the Brain Defies Explanation» is John Horgan's popular science essay, in paperback (336 pages, in English).
Science writer John Horgan reflects on the limits of neuroscience in explaining the mind and consciousness. Through portraits of researchers such as Eric Kandel and Lewis Wolpert, he surveys evolutionary psychology and artificial intelligence, and takes a sceptical stance: a unified theory of consciousness does not yet exist.
«The Undiscovered Mind» is later than John Horgan's «The End of Science». Phoenix published this work in 2000. Horgan was a senior editor at Scientific American.
For readers of popular science interested in neuroscience and the debate on the promises and limits of mind research.
