{"product_id":"janus-a-summing-up","title":"Janus: A summing up","description":"\"To put it crudely: evolution has left a few screws loose between the neocortex and the hypothalamus.\" Thus Arthur Koestler defines his hypothesis of \"schizophysiology\" in Janus. Written towards the end of his life this book serves as a summation of his earlier scientific writings -- among them \"The Act of Creation,\" \"The Case of the Midwife Toad\" and \"The Ghost in the Machine.\" Schizophysiology is a condition which Koestler sees as singularly human. It seeks to explain \"the chronic, quasi-schizophrenic split between reason and emotion\" and does so by an evolutionary argument. Outstanding and thought-provoking whether you agree or disagree with his process or conclusions!\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0394500520\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0394500520.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Koestler, Arthur\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
