The Meaning of Mind

En savoir plus sur le livre

Challenging the conventional analysis of the mind, Szasz argues for understanding individuals as moral agents responsible for their actions rather than victims of brain chemistry. He critiques the psychiatric field's misinterpretation of human conflict and coping mechanisms, which he previously addressed in his earlier works. This ambitious book warns against reducing the complexities of consciousness and the mind to mere neuroscience, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility in the discourse surrounding mental health.
