The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jay

Description: The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Jaynes's controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and still is developing. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion — and indeed our future. Author Biography Julian Jaynes (1923-1997) achieved an almost cult-like reputation for this controversial book, which was his only published work. Review "When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium b.c. men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis." -- John Updike The New Yorker Review Quote "When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium b.c. men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis." -- John Updike The New Yorker Details ISBN0618057072 Author Julian Jaynes Short Title ORIGIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE Pages 512 Publisher Mariner Books Language English ISBN-10 0618057072 ISBN-13 9780618057078 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 128.2 Illustrations Yes Year 2000 Publication Date 2000-08-31 Edition 1st Imprint Houghton Mifflin Place of Publication Boston Country of Publication United States DOI 10.1604/9780618057078 Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 2000-11-15 Imprint US Mariner Books Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
