A quick plug for the new publication from Durham University's Institute of Advanced Study. With an introduction by Durham's Chancellor, Bill Bryson, Thinking About Almost Everything is a multi-disciplinary collection of short pieces on ideas that are motivating research and thought today. You'll find articles on the role of feelings in thinking, the dual nature of thought, irrationality in decision-making, and the active nature of vision. Beyond the psychological, the book contains contributions from disciplines as diverse as quantum mechanics and music theology (that was a new one on me as well).
I have contributed a piece on mental voices, which connects with a few of the ideas already chewed over in this blog. You can order the book at a special discount here.
