About this title: The final volume in a highly-acclaimed trilogy, this book attempts to undo the mind-body split proposed by Descartes by arguing, like Spinoza in the 17th century, that feelings and emotions are integral to life and our greatest cultural contributions.

"I love this book! It is pretty dense and lots of scientific jargon but so rewarding. I love Spinoza and the history of the Sephartic jews is pretty fascinating. I learned much I did not know."
"Some wonderful thoughts on the nature of emotions and feelings, from an empirical basis (from the POV of an external observer - a physician for example) and how it relates to our own private world, and on the philosophy of Spinoza. Fascinating to read this curious man's thoughts - a real polymath - on this subject as he struggles to probe the problem of the brain, the body, consciousness and so forth from several angles. Recommended to me by my head of department, a medic who is great friends with Damasio, having both studied medicine together."
"This is the third book written by Damasio, a neurologist. I found it the most accessible of the three. Important concepts on the relationship of physiology, emotions and feelings."
