Mind in life

Biology, phenomenology, and the sciences of mind

Evan Thompson(Department of Educational Psychology & Counselling Psychology and Special Education, University of British Columbia)

How is life related to the mind? This book explores the gap between biological life and consciousness. It argues that where there is life, there is mind: life and mind share common principles of self-organization, and the self-organizing features of mind are an enriched version of the self-organizing features of life.
