Am I just a Brain?

Sharon Dirckx in Am I Just a Brain? explains how modern research is uncovering ever more details of what our brains are and how they work. We are living, thinking creatures who carry around with us an incredible organic supercomputer in our heads. But what is the relationship between our brains and our minds, and ultimately our sense of identity as a person? Are we more than machines? Is free will an illusion? Do we have a soul? Brain imaging researcher Sharon Dirckx lays out the current understanding of who we are from biologists, philosophers, theologians, and psychologists, and points to a bigger picture that suggests answers to the fundamental questions of our existence. Not just “what am I?” but “who am I?” and “why am I?” Read this book to gain valuable insight into what modern research tells us about ourselves, or to challenge a skeptical friend with the idea that we are merely material beings living in a material world.
