Does the brain think? Is it the creator of the world of experience the constructor of the
subject? This widespread interpretation of the neurosciences is contrasted in this book with an
ecological conception: The brain is above all an organ for mediating the relationships between
the organism and the environment and for our relationships with other people. These
interactions are constantly altering the brain making it an organ that is biographically
socially and culturally shaped. In short it is not the brain as such but rather the living
human being who feels thinks and acts. In this sixth edition the author presents a new
updated version of his pioneering work which was enthusiastically welcomed by specialists and
the press.
