This book is not very well organized, but is very interesting, and seems to be very well researched. The author makes his baises pretty clear right from the beginning, and then proceeds to give the reader a ton of information. Quite fun. I especially had a good time with the chapters on Socrates and Joan d'Arc as voice-hearers. ( ) This book was strongly influenced by Julian Jaynes: The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, and provides an excellent understanding of some of the implications of Jaynes' work. The author explores the experience of auditory hallucinations (or "hearing voices"), motivated by the stories of his father and grand-father. Excellent. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
An inquiry into hearing voices-one of humanity's most profound phenomena Auditory hallucination is one of the most awe-inspiring, terrifying, and ill- understood tricks of which the human psyche is capable. In the age of modern medical science, we have relegated this experience to nothing more than a biological glitch. Yet as Daniel B. Smith puts forth in Muses, Madmen, and Prophets, some of the greatest thinkers, leaders, and prophets in history heard, listened to, and had dialogues with voices inside their heads. In a fascinating quest for understanding, Smith examines the history of this powerful phenomenon, and delivers a ringing defense of the validity of unusual human experiences.
