Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Philosophers, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists have all been providing insights which help to build a view of how the human mind works. This book is unique for using all these insights to build a fully integrated view of the subject. The book touches on many aspects of human thought and experience and so will appeal to readers in a wide range of disciplines. The book is accessible to students - Hundert has used it on university courses - and, in its paperback format, could be bought by them.
MoreLong description:
This book proposes a new, unified view of the mind which integrates the insights of philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Through a detailed discussion of major theories from all these, and related disciplines, the author gradually reveals fundamental links between these previously unconnected approaches to human thought and experience.
The author has studied medicine, philosophy, mathematics and history, and is currently a practising psychiatrist and a teacher at the Harvard Medical School. He discusses diverse fields of thought with depth and clarity, and his unique perspective should stimulate a re-evaluation of our traditional approaches to the mind.
An inspired and landmark work...Few among us would persevere in a detailed study of philosophy, psychiatry, and neuroscience; fewer still would attempt the synthetic analysis and present it with singular style and erudition... this visionary book will enjoy a wide audience and will be a catalyst for further study and debate.
