Noises from the Darkroom

The Science and Mystery of the Mind

About this book

Noises from the Darkroom draws psychology, biology and mysticism together into an exciting new theory of human consciousness.

Starting from an evolutionary perspective, Guy Claxton shows how the mind has emerged from the brain, and how, along the way, some crucial misapprehensions have slipped into our unconscious models of ourselves. Through its masterly and engaging synthesis of different perspectives, Noises from the Darkroom offers a view of the totality of the human brain-mind that illuminates clearly both its blind alleys and its potentialities.

Guy Claxton's many books include Wholly Human, Beyond Therapy and The Heart of Buddhism.
