In "Am I Just a Brain?", Sharon Dirckx explains how modern research is increasingly uncovering details of what our brain is and how it works. We are living, thinking creatures who carry an incredible organic supercomputer in our heads. But what is the relationship between our brain and our mind, and ultimately, our sense of identity as a person? Are we more than machines? Is free will an illusion? Do we have a soul?
Brain imaging researcher Sharon Dirckx presents the current understanding of who we are from biologists, philosophers, theologians, and psychologists, and points to a broader picture that suggests answers to the fundamental questions of our existence. Not just "what am I?", but "who am I?" and "why am I?" Read this book for valuable insight into what modern research tells us about ourselves, or to challenge a skeptical friend with the idea that we are merely material beings living in a material world.
