About the Book

This book is the outgrowth of the meeting "Quantum brain dynamics and the humanities: A new perspective for the 21st century", which was held at the Institute for Scientific Interchange (ISI) in Torino, Italy, in November 2002. The meeting was born from an idea of Globus Gordon, to gather those involved in the formulation of the quantum model of brain, initiated by Luigi Maria Ricciardi and Hiroomi Umezawa in the middle of 1960s, to discuss in some informal but productive way the model implications for literature, philosophy, and the arts. His conviction was that the quantum model of brain could be in some sense the prototype of a new conception of making science: without loosing its characteristics and the powerfulness of the Galilean method, science must recover its merging with humanities, from which it has diverged during its development. On the other hand, humanities cannot ignore the logical and formal (mathematical and methodological) apparatus of science. Knowledge should not continue to suffer a conceptual splitting between human science and natural science. New ways of thinking are needed to effect a rapprochement. The meeting was thus conceived to be a first limited attempt, a sort of "experiment" of "thinking together" quantum brain dynamics and humanities, organized in the frame of the ISI Project "Expanding Perception". The ISI Project aims to explore that domain of complexity theory that lies at the boundary between "hard" science, arts, linguistic and bears as well on cognitive and perception science (including the notion of mental space as induced by knowledge structuring and language).

Review :
Brain and Being illustrates both the promise and the perils of the interface between NeuroQuantology and the humanities.
