ALPHABETICAL BRAIN™ VOCABULARY HUMANIST HUB OF SECULAR SCIENCE STARS PAUL NUNEZ June 16, 2021 Note = Paul L. Nunez has written several important brain science books, which should be read and discussed throughout the Humanist Galaxy. This revised edition of his 2010 book is extremely important since Nunez is an expert at organizing the complexity of modern secular humanistic thinking about human consciousness: New Science of Consciousness: Exploring the complexity of brain, mind, and self by Paul L. Nunez. Prometheus Books, 2016 rev. ed. (350 pages) In Nunez's earlier book, Brain, Mind, and the Structure of Reality (2010), he addressed both the easy and hard problems of consciousness. Many people view human consciousness as one of the following: [1] Nothing but a byproduct of sensory, motor, and memory information processing, essentially saying that the hard problem is just an illusion; [2] Something mystical that lies beyond scientific purview, implying that the hard problem is just too hard for us deal with; or [3] Explained by flaky ideas, pseudo quantum mechanics, or appeals to fuzzy theology. In contrast, Nunez's new book, New Science of Consciousness (2016), is based upon hard scientific evidence but is written for a general audience. This new edition contains ideas from philosophy, religion, ethics, neuroscience, physics, engineering, and cosmology without the equations in the 2010 book. The equations have been replaced by carefully chosen analogues and metaphors in the main text.
