Building The Inquiring Mind

Provides a comprehensive, yet easily readable, coverage of the progression of the concept of thinking, as well as unravelling the fundamental questions concerning what it takes to be human. For those, of all ages, who may have wondered but not inquired, yet retain a niggling disquiet at their own uncertainty, this book takes you on a fascinating journey through early theology, philosophy, neuroscience and psychology. In this way it is hoped that doubts and uncertainties will disappear and a superordinate framework will enable personal enlightenment in any search for significance, agency, control and direction for inquiring, well being and mental health. This would also be appropriate for schools and colleges as an orientation introduction of how we humans have come to understand ourselves and the world in which we live..
