Joy, Guilt, Anger, Love: What Neuroscience Can-and Can't- Tell Us About How We Feel

摘要

Neuroscience is inching ever closer to explaining the cellular and molecular underpinnings of the amazingly complex human brain. But leaving the job of understanding our most intimate emotions solely to newfangled neuroscience methods, such as the latest imaging technologies and optoge-netics, is folly, explains neuroscientist Giovanni Frazzetto in his new book, Joy, Guilt, Anger, Love. Instead, he suggests, art, literature, and philosophy can help shed light on the darkest corners of the brain.
