Abstract

Why are we reviewing a book written by someone who shared in the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on superconductivity? Because shortly after winning the prize, Leon N. Cooper transitioned into brain research-specifically, the biological basis of memory. He became director of the Brown University Institute for Brain and Neural Systems, whose interdisciplinary program allowed him to integrate research on the brain, physics, and even philosophy. His new book tackles a diverse spectrum of topics and questions, including these: Does science have limits? Where does order come from? Can we understand consciousness?

书评:利昂·n·库珀的《科学与人类经验:价值观、文化与心灵》。
为什么我们要评论一本1972年诺贝尔物理学奖得主写的书呢?因为在获奖后不久,利昂·n·库珀就转向了大脑研究——具体来说,是记忆的生物学基础。他成为布朗大学脑与神经系统研究所的主任,该研究所的跨学科项目使他能够将大脑、物理学甚至哲学的研究结合起来。他的新书涉及了各种各样的主题和问题,包括:科学有极限吗?秩序从何而来?我们能理解意识吗?
