Mind in Life: Biology, Phenomenology, and the Sciences of Mind

Mind in Life is a groundbreaking book that explores the relationship between life and mind, challenging traditional views of the explanatory gap between biological life and consciousness.

Drawing upon diverse fields such as molecular biology, evolutionary theory, artificial life, complex systems theory, neuroscience, psychology, Continental Phenomenology, and analytic philosophy, Thompson argues that mind and life are more continuous than previously accepted, and that current explanations do not adequately address the myriad facets of the biology and phenomenology of mind.

This book offers a holistic and dynamic perspective on how life and mind interact, providing unprecedented insight into the nature of life and consciousness.

With its interdisciplinary approach and accessible writing style, Mind in Life is an essential read for anyone interested in the theory of the mind, life science, and phenomenology.
