"Recent decades have brought about a genuine scientific revolution. It did not take place overnight, but the cumulative efforts of psychologists, neuroscientists, specialists in AI and philosophers have given us a picture of human cognitive processes and behaviour that is radically new. The revolution has led us to recognize and account for the important role played by unconscious decision-making, the central role that emotions play in the human psyche, and the intricate relationship between mind and body. In doing so, it has significantly reshaped the way in which we understand our mental lives and the sources of our actions"-- Provided by publisher.
