Pode ler-se aqui : (...) "The thinking of Descartes, for example, who believed the soul was responsible for all mental functions, has been rendered quaint by research showing that the self—whatever it is—clearly emerges from the physical brain. Churchland’s most recent book, Touching a Nerve, is subtitled The Self as Brain, and visits some of the evidence that all of our emotions, thoughts, memories, and behavior spring from neural activity and nothing but—no soul required."
