We are more than our brains: in search of a subjective beginning

Бесплатный доступ

The subjective world of human is still a difficult problem for the scientific explanation not only by the nature of its origin and ontological necessity, but also by the amazing integrity of the mental manifestation, creating the illusion of the second reality. The maintenance of this «mental» human environment without «stitches and gluings» probably determines the existence of a specifically human need - cognitive debt, which takes the human cognitive activity beyond the needs of the biological adaptation itself and leads to the construction of a generalized picture of the world. It can be assumed that this picture of the world «grows up» together with a person and gradually acquires the properties of a dynamic model of the «external world», capable in one or another perspective of playing possible variants of the «future» and thereby «prompting» not only behavior strategies in the external world but elements of the laws of this world. Perhaps all our intuitive decisions, creative insights, great discoveries and high art are all the result of introspectively invisible acts of the mental model of the external world formed in the supercomplex neural brain of a person.
