Secrets of the Mind

"How satisfactory and how complete is our understanding of the workings of the mind? What are the secrets of the mind? How many are there? And of what kind?"--BOOK JACKET. "Writing in a conversational style, noted Glasgow chemist and author A. G. Cairns-Smith discusses fundamental questions about 'mind and matter' which science is struggling to understand. The journey leads us to confront the "Great Enigma" - the nature of consciousness itself, and ultimately the question of free will."--BOOK JACKET.
