Best review for The Mind’s Past

What happened along the evolutionary trail that made humans so unique? In his accessible style, Michael Gazzaniga pinpoints the change that made us thinking, sentient humans different from our predecessors. He explores what makes human brains special, the importance of language and art in defining the human condition, the nature of human consciousness, and even artificial intelligence.

Best review for Human: The Science Behind What Makes Your Brain Unique

A provocative and fascinating look at new discoveries about the brain that challenge our ethics

The rapid advance of scientific knowledge has raised ethical dilemmas that humankind has never before had to address. Questions about the moment when life technically begins and ends or about the morality of genetically designing babies are now relevant and timely. Our ever-increasing knowledge of the workings of the human brain can guide us in the formation of new moral principles in the twenty-first century. In The Ethical Brain, preeminent neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga presents the emerging social and ethical issues arising out of modern-day brain science and challenges the way we look at them. Courageous and thought-provoking — a work of enormous intelligence, insight, and importance — this book explores the hitherto uncharted landscape where science and society intersect.

Best review for The Ethical Brain: The Science of Our Moral Dilemmas (P.S.)

The father of cognitive neuroscience and author of Human offers a provocative argument against the common belief that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes and we are therefore not responsible for our actions

A powerful orthodoxy in the study of the brain has taken hold in recent years: Since physical laws govern the physical world and our own brains are part of that world, physical laws therefore govern our behavior and even our conscious selves. Free will is meaningless, goes the mantra; we live in a â??determinedâ? world.

Not so, argues the renowned neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga in this thoughtful, provocative book based on his Gifford Lecturesâ??â??one of the foremost lecture series in the world dealing with religion, science, and philosophy. Whoâ??s in Charge? proposes that the mind, which is somehow generated by the physical processes of the brain, â??constrainsâ? the brain just as cars are constrained by the traffic they create. Writing with what Steven Pinker has called â??his trademark wit and lack of pretension,â? Gazzaniga shows how determinism immeasurably weakens our views of human responsibility; it allows a murderer to argue, in effect, â??It wasnâ??t me who did itâ??â??it was my brain.â? Gazzaniga convincingly argues that even given the latest insights into the physical mechanisms of the mind, there is an undeniable human reality: We are responsible agents who should be held accountable for our actions, because responsibility is found in how people interact, not in brains.

An extraordinary book that ranges across neuroscience, psychology, ethics, and the law with a light touch but profound implications, Whoâ??s in Charge? is a lasting contribution from one of the leading thinkers of our time.
