ذهن‌های پنهان: تاریخ ناخودآگاه

The concept of the unconscious has staged a comeback. New research, employing brain scans and other techniques, has shown that the unconscious is not only real but indispensable. HIDDEN MINDS traces our enduring fascination with the unconscious and our attempts to tame it through hypnosis, psychoanalysis, subliminal manipulation, lucid dreams, and even the principles of the ìquantum mind.î Drawing widely on scientific research, art, literature, and philosophy, Frank Tallis shows that an understanding of this ìhidden mindî is essential to understanding our true selves.

Hidden Minds traces our enduring fascination with the unconscious and our attempts to tame it through hypnosis, psychoanalysis, subliminal manipulation, lucid dreams, and even the principles of the quantum mind.

Hidden Minds traces our enduring fascination with the unconscious and our attempts to tame it through hypnosis, psychoanalysis, subliminal manipulation, lucid dreams, and even the principles of the quantum mind. From St. Augustine, who wrote, “I cannot grasp all that I am,” to the latest contemporary research, philosophers, scientists, and thinkers have been fascinated with the concept. This absorbing history offers colorful, sometimes astonishing examples, while also laying out the functions of the unconscious process in our daily lives.

"In this brilliant synthesis, Frank Tallis argues that the unconscious -- along with quantum physics and the gene -- is one of the three big ideas of twentieth-century science. Closely associated with the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, it seemed to have fallen from scientific favor midway through the last century, but now it has staged a major comeback. New research in neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and evolutionaty theory has shown not only that the unconscious exists but that no account of the human mind can be complete without an understanding of this essential part of us"--Page 4 of cover.
