Consciousness as a historical development
Julian Jaynes presents consciousness not as an ancient, fixed feature of human evolution but as a learned process that emerged roughly three thousand years ago and continues to develop. The book traces the reach of that controversial thesis across psychology, history, culture, and religion, while also considering what it might mean for humanity’s future. Its scope places a question about the nature of the mind in conversation with broad accounts of human society and change.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
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.
