Owen argues that despite the materialist perspective that has dominated neuroscience in recent decades, measuring consciousness and its medical benefits is not ruled out by its nonphysical nature. He introduces the Mind-Body Powers model of neural correlates of consciousness, which is informed by Aristotelian causation and a substance dualist view of human nature inspired by Thomas Aquinas. The model provides a philosophical foundation for empirically discerning and quantifying consciousness and rebuts longstanding objections to dualism related to the mind-body problem. Owen applies a historical vantage point to contemporary cognitive neuroscience, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between mind and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793640147\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Owen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44130893398266,"sku":"9781793640147","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679475179484_book.jpg?v=1679996806","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/measuring-the-immeasurable-mind-where-contemporary-neuroscience-meets-the-aristotelian-tradition-9781793640147","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
