Second Nature by Gerald M Edelman
Offers a theory of knowledge based on scientific findings about how the brain works and addresses the related compelling question: does the research imply that all knowledge can be reduced to scientific description?
"'It was William James's dream that physiology, psychology and philosophy be joined into a single discipline, and in Second Nature, the latest volume in Gerald MEdelman's seminal series of books on Neural Darwinism, this dream of a brain-based epistemology is brought closer than ever to realization. For anyone who is interested in human consciousness, this is required reading.' Oliver Sacks, author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"
