The Self and Its Brain: An Argument for Interactionism
by: John C. Eccles / Karl Popper

Hardcover. Berlin/London, Springer International, reprint, 1977, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 597 pages. The relation between body and mind is one of the oldest riddles that has puzzled mankind. That material and mental events may interact is accepted even by the law: our mental capacity to concentrate on the task can be seriously reduced by drugs. Physical and chemical processes may act upon the mind; and when we are writing a difficult letter, our mind acts upon our body and, through a chain of physical events, upon the mind of the recipient of the letter. the authors of this book stress that they cannot solve the body mind problem; but they hope that they have been able to shed new light on it.
