About this book

In this volume, distinguished neurologist Jason W. Brown extends the microgenetic theory of the mind by offering a new approach to the problem of time and free will. Brown bases his work on a unitary process model of brain and behavior. He examines the problem of subjective time and free will, the experiential present, the nature of intentionality, and the creative properties of physical growth and mental process.

Reviews

`Dr. Brown takes issues grappled with by nineteenth-and early-twentieth century philosophers into the twenty-first century....Readers who immerse themselves in this dense and erudite book will be transformed, never to think the same way again about the mind.'
American Journal of Psychiatry
