Summary
the Author strongly feels the still immeasurable gap
existing between the todays comprehensible neurophysiology
concerning somatic and autonomic functions, on the one hand,
and the still incomprehensible properties of mind - when
approached in the same neurophysiological term- on the other
hand. For this reason, the book is first aiming at given an
understandable, critically viewed, fundament on the
"kernel" of mind:the ideas, their relationship with the
corresponding concepts, with the development of thought ,
with memory, with will.
In this book, the Author does not advance neurophysioligal
models to put to test, rather, strives to encase the
forementioned mind's functional properties and its abstract
structures within the same reference framework of physical
principles outlined for the somatic and autonomic functions
in his preceding volume PRINCIPLES OF THEORETICAL
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY (Springer, 1987.)
