Science and Human ExperienceValues, Culture, and the MindLeon N. CooperBrown University, Rhode Island

Does science have limits? Where does order come from? Can we understand consciousness? Written by a Nobel Laureate, this book covers topics ranging from the relationship between art and science to the relevance of the Turing test. It will captivate anyone interested in the interaction of science with society.Contents: Part I. Science and Society; Part II. Thought and Consciousness; Part III. On the Nature and Limits of Science.

‘As a scientist and a humanist, Cooper is well-versed in philosophy, literature, art, and the practicalities of making science serve humanity, as opposed to being in thrall to special interests. His intellectual open-mindedness and compelling prose style make Science and Human Experience a thought-provoking pleasure to read.’Peter Byrne, author of The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III: Multiple Universes, Mutual Assured Destruction, and the Meltdown of a Nuclear Family
