“The present is never here. We are hopelessly late for consciousness.” — Descartes’ Error 📚 log(book)

I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

The present is never here. We are hopelessly late for consciousness.

Descartes’ Error

by António R. Damásio · published 1994 · read 2020-04-18

★★★★☆

Didn't hold much new information for me, because its contents have grown so accepted and foundational in the 25 years since publication. Nevertheless it provides a solid fundamental overview in a very readable way, despite also dealing in a bit of technical details.
