But what if researchers viewed the brain not as the foundation of life, rather as a mediating organ? \u003c\/p\u003e\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.","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45031999340695,"sku":"9780199646883","price":8479.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199646883.webp?v=1767098314","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ecology-of-the-brain-the-phenomenology-and-biology-of-the-embodied-mind-9780199646883","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
