Description
In this thought-provoking critique, Tallis challenges the reductionist views that attempt to explain human consciousness and behavior solely through neuroscience and evolutionary biology. He introduces terms like “Neuromania” and “Darwinitis” to describe the overextension of these scientific disciplines into realms where they may not fully apply. Tallis argues for a more nuanced understanding of humanity that acknowledges the complexity and uniqueness of human experience beyond mere biological explanations. This work is classified under philosophy, particularly focusing on the critique of scientism and the philosophy of mind. It is a non-Fiction text and is not considered a work of Fiction. Tallis’s arguments have sparked discussions in both scientific and philosophical communities, encouraging a reevaluation of how we understand the relationship between biology and the human experience.
