Description: At the heart of this seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that consciousness didn't begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3000 years ago & is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually all aspects of psychology, history & religion.PrefaceIntroductionThe mind of manThe consciousness of consciousnessConsciousnessThe mind of IliadThe bicameral mindThe double brainThe origin of civilization --The witness of historyGods, graves & idolsLiterate bicameral theocraciesThe causes of consciousnessA change of mind in MesopotamiaThe intellectual consciousness of GreeceThe moral consciousness of the KhabiruVestiges of the bicameral mind in the modern worldThe quest for authorizationOf prophets and possessionOf poetry & musicHypnosisSchizophreniaThe auguries of scienceIndex
