The Origin of Consciousness and the Mind-Body Problem

By Jack Friedland

This book presents a profound and incisive new paradigm which explains how the evolution of language-namely our growing capacity to label, describe, explain, and communicate our objective and subjective experiences-led us from being biologically aware to that mysterious phenomenon we call consciousness and, eventually, to the mind-body problem. It also shows how our expanding ability to explain our experiences led to the idea of mind. It further demonstrates how our capacity for internal dialogue led to the idea of the personal self and to self-awareness.
