*/From the Foreword by Dr. Michael A. Persinger, Professor of
Behavioral Neuroscience, Biomolecular Sciences Program, Laurentian
University:/*

"In this book Marcel Kuijsten and his colleagues have integrated a
quintessential collection of original thoughts concerning Jaynes?s
concepts as well as some of Jaynes?s original essays. I have rarely
read a manuscript that so eloquently and elegantly examines a
complex and pervasive phenomenon. The contributors of this volume
have integrated the concepts of psychology, anthropology,
archaeology, theology, philosophy, the history of science, and
modern neuroscience with such clarity it should be considered an
essential text for any student of human experience."

Why are gods and idols ubiquitous throughout the ancient world? What
is the relationship of consciousness and language? How is it that
oracles came to influence entire nations such as Greece? If
consciousness arose far back in human evolution, how can it so
easily be altered in hypnosis and "possession"? Is modern
schizophrenia a vestige of an earlier mentality? These are just some
of the difficult questions addressed by Julian Jaynes's influential
and controversial theory of the origin of subjective consciousness
or the "modern mind." This book includes an in-depth biography of
Julian Jaynes, essays by Jaynes, and the discussion and analysis of
Jaynes's theory from a variety of perspectives such as clinical
psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, anthropology, linguistics, and
ancient history.
