The four realms of existence : a new theory of being human / Joseph E. LeDoux.
"Joseph LeDoux offers a new framework for understanding how biological processes give rise to the sense of being an independent personality in the world. Theorizing the intricate interdependence of the bodily, neural, cognitive, and conscious realms, Ledoux explores the evolution of the human as an "ensemble of being" unique among Earth's animals"-- Provided by publisher.
