The Natural History of the Mind presents a sweeping and rigorous investigation into the biological and neurological foundations of human consciousness, tracing the evolutionary origins of thought, memory, perception, emotion, and selfhood. Gordon Rattray Taylor synthesises decades of scientific research across neurology, psychology, and evolutionary biology to construct a panoramic portrait of the mind as a product of nature — examining phenomena ranging from sleep and dreaming to altered states, personality disorders, and the mysteries of creativity.\n\nTaylor, celebrated for his rare gift of making complex science accessible without sacrificing intellectual depth, writes with clarity and conviction, drawing on the latest findings of his era to challenge both materialist and dualist assumptions about the nature of mind. The Natural History of the Mind stands as a landmark work of popular science, one that refuses easy answers and instead leaves the reader confronting one of the most profound questions ever posed: if the mind is a product of the brain, what — if anything — lies beyond the boundaries of the knowable?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130868474075,"sku":"2026200011808-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c3a811bb-7b5b-4fea-b193-f29061d011dd.png?v=1786591564","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011808-secondhand-the-natural-history-of-the-mind","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
