But what if researchers viewed the brain not as the foundation of life, rather as a mediating organ? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEcology of the Brain addresses this very question. It considers the human body as a collective, a living being which uses the brain to mediate interactions. Those interactions may be both within the human body and between the human body and its environment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin this framework, the mind is seen not as a product of the brain but as an activity of the living being; an activity which integrates the brain within the everyday functions of the human body. Going further, Fuchs reformulates the traditional mind-brain problem, presenting it as a dual aspect of the living being: the lived body and the subjective body - the living body and the objective body. The processes of living and experiencing life, Fuchs argues, are in fact inextricably linked; it is not the brain, but the human being who feels, thinks and acts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor students and academics, Ecology of the Brain will be of interest to those studying or researching theory of mind, social and cultural interaction, psychiatry, and psychotherapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Fuchs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199646880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199646883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Thomas Fuchs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946319479039,"sku":"9780199646883","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5fdde1db-28f5-4eb8-bd10-d61beda02ce8.jpg?v=1681512506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ecology-of-the-brain-thomas-fuchs-9780199646883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
