Meanwhile, neuroscientists search for empirical answers, seeking neural correlates for consciousness, self, and free will. In this book, Georg Northoff does not propose new solutions to the mind-body problem; instead, he questions the problem itself, arguing that it is an empirically, ontologically, and conceptually implausible way to address the existence and reality of mental features. We are better off, he contends, by addressing consciousness and other mental features in terms of the relationship between world and brain; philosophers should consider the <em>world-brain problem</em> rather than the <em>mind-body problem</em>.

This spatiotemporal structure allows the brain to extend beyond itself into body and world, creating the world-brain relation that is central to mental features. Northoff makes his argument in empirical, ontological, and epistemic-methodological terms. He discusses current models of the brain and applies these models to recent data on neuronal features underlying consciousness and proposes the world-brain relation as the ontological predisposition for consciousness.</p>...4153536The Spontaneous Brain7381025https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-spontaneous-brain-9780262346979/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2928858/7a945072-f3ad-42e9-b854-12714c6af069.jpg?v=638384642425300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780262346979_W3siaWQiOiI3MmNiYTQ1YS02NjdhLTQxZjYtYjNhOC1kYzQyMDZhZTdkYTciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjk5OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI4MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo3MTksImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTEyLTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780262346979_<p><strong>An argument for a Copernican revolution in our consideration of mental featuresa shift in which the <em>world-brain problem</em> supersedes the <em>mind-body problem</em>.</strong></p><p>Philosophers have long debated the mind-body problemwhether to attribute such mental features as consciousness to mind or to body.
