How come life worthy of living? What makes actions right or wrong? What is simple fact and just how do we know it? The Brain and the Meaning of Life draws on research in beliefs, psychology, and neuroscience to answer some of the most pressing questions about life's character and value. Paul Thagard argues that data requires the abandonment of several traditional ideas about the heart and soul, free will, and immortality, and shows how brain knowledge matters for fundamental issues about simple fact, morality, and the meaning of life. The ongoing Brain Revolution shows how love, work, and play provide good reasons for living.
Defending the superiority of evidence-based reasoning over religious faith and philosophical thought experiments, Thagard argues that imagination are brains and this the truth is what knowledge can discover. Brains come to know reality by way of a combination of understanding and reasoning. Just as important, our brains evaluate aspects of simple fact through feelings that can produce both good and bad decisions. Our cognitive and psychological abilities allow us to understand simple fact, decide effectively, work morally, and go after the vital needs of love, work, and play. Wisdom includes knowing what counts, why it matters, and how to achieve it.
The Brain and the Meaning of Life shows how brain knowledge helps to answer questions about the type of head and simple fact, while alleviating stress about the issue of life in a vast universe. The e book integrates decades of multidisciplinary research, but its clear explanations and humor make it accessible to the general reader.
