The Voices Within: The History and Science of How We Talk to Ourselves by Charles Fernyhough
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.4MB
Overview: A wide-ranging look at the voices in all our heads, examining how we think and what it means for our lives and sense of self.
Close your eyes and have a thought. Profound or mundane, hold the thought; savour it. Replay it in your mind. Now ask yourself a question: what was it like to think that thought? What we usually call ‘thinking’ is often a kind of speaking by, and a listening to, the multiple voices of our consciousness.
The Voices Within eavesdrops on the voices in our heads: the kindly ones, the guiding ones, the voices of conscience and memory, and the sometimes terrible, sometimes beneficent voices of those who hear others speaking when there is no one around. It illuminates the new sciences of language and thought with engaging case studies and historical and artistic examples, and makes the reader think differently about how words and thoughts weave together in our consciousness.
