Book Description
Excerpt from Life, Mind, and Knowledge or the Circuit of Sentient Existence A Living organism is a closed circuit. The sentient current starts in the battery of living substance; its "outer circuit" is consciousness, or mind, which, by functioning as knowledge, forms a "conductor" that closes or completes the circuit of sentient and corporeal existence. In other words, mind gets its whole and sole meaning from the living "battery" - the body - whence it emerges, by functioning as knowledge to keep it "in charge." And the object of the following pages is to indicate very briefly the nature of the "plugs" - the elements of knowledge - that close the circuit. Many eminent biologists maintain that there is no external evidence of the presence of consciousness in the lowest forms of life (the protozoa and the lowest invertebrates). Though the issue has nothing whatever to do with the purport of these essays, yet, in view of the fact that in the phrase "cell consciousness" I assume its presence in some dim form, it may be well that I should state explicitly my credal views.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Existence to Life: The Science of Self-Consciousness It appears to me that, From Existence to Life; the Science of self-consciousness ex actly covers the whole field of that which is herein formulated. It is a science for all-round use, health being but one of the many modes of the Principle of all-knowledge; and, so far as man is concerned, the science of self-conscious ness, formulated correctly, and made use of in telligently, should satisfy the mind and comfort the heart in all the emergencies of self-con scious life, enabling a man to hold on his way and grow stronger and stronger.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Mind The second principle is, that mind always acts as a whole or as a unity, and is known only as such. This means that whenever the mind acts it is always the whole mindthat acts and never a mere part of it. Thus when I see a tree, my whole mind is centered upon the tree and I am not seeing the tree with only a part Of my mind. When I think Of an Object, that Object is the point around which my mind as a whole is organized. The'n mind can be defined as the active unity which manifests itself in and comprehends the organization of objects in our world. And by Objects we mean primarily those things which we touch and handle and eat and sell in our cultural and practical relations, and not Objects which are supposed by some mystery to be only in or out of the mind and therefore unreal.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "A dazzling journey across the sciences and humanities in search of deep laws to unite them." —The Wall Street Journal One of our greatest scientists—and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for On Human Nature and The Ants—gives us a work of visionary importance that may be the crowning achievement of his career. In Consilience (a word that originally meant "jumping together"), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenment's search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Using the natural sciences as his model, Wilson forges dramatic links between fields. He explores the chemistry of the mind and the genetic bases of culture. He postulates the biological principles underlying works of art from cave-drawings to Lolita. Presenting the latest findings in prose of wonderful clarity and oratorical eloquence, and synthesizing it into a dazzling whole, Consilience is science in the path-clearing traditions of Newton, Einstein, and Richard Feynman.
