Closer to Consciousness

Meer over het boek

The book explores a groundbreaking theory of consciousness, proposing that the two hemispheres of the brain function as distinct yet interactive entities. Durig argues that this System of Interactive Reflexivity (SIR) fosters a continuous awareness of the external world and each other's perceptions, forming the basis of consciousness. He emphasizes the crucial role of social interaction in developing meaning, mind, self, language, and emotions, while also critiquing the limitations of existing theories in understanding consciousness.
