The relation of mind -- consciousness especially -- and body has puzzled scientists and philosophers for centuries. Nicholas Humphrey here tells the evolutionary story of how sensory consciousness has come into the world and what it does here. Written in the form of a journey of discovery, A HISTORY OF THE MIND, which Daniel Dennett has called a wonderful book -- brilliant, unsettling and beautifully written -- gives us a bold, influential interpretation of the nature of consciousness by one of the world's leading theoretical psychologists.
