THE FOUR REALMS OF EXISTENCE
A new theory of being human
Joseph LeDoux argues that ideas like the self are increasingly barriers to discovery and understanding. He offers a new framework, theorizing four realms of existence—bodily, neural, cognitive, and conscious. Together, these four realms operate continuously as an “ensemble of being” to make humans who and what we are.
"LeDoux presents a rigorously scientific yet eminently readable exploration of what it means to be human (...) A finely wrought, thought-provoking feast for the mind. (Oct.)"
Publishers Weekly
"The book provides an in-depth description of these realms (I found the cognitive one especially thought-provoking) and describes how they evolved, in a way that is reminiscent of Mitchell’s approach."
Liad Mudrik, Nature Book Review
