Texte du rabat

This book asks where ideas, objects and feelings come from via an exploration of the nature of subjective experience and its relation to the world. It explores a diachronic processual that provides an explanatory "system" of thought and advances a theory of mind and brain that brings together previous, fragmentary research studies.
