\"Raymond Tallis's The Explicit Animal (1991) defended the distinctive nature of human consciousness against the misrepresentations of those many philosophers and cognitive scientists who aimed to reduce it to a set of functions understood in evolutionary, neurobiological and computational terms. Stephen Clark expressed the hope that Tallis would continue his explorations.\" \"On the Edge of Certainty does precisely that, investigating the implications of the highly original view of human nature adumbrated in his earlier book for our understanding of the nature of truth, of language, of the mind and of the self. His arguments utilise a rich variety of forms, ranging from a lexicon of terms commonly misused by 'neuromythologists' to a meditation on the last weeks of Wittgenstein's thinking life which combines biography and intellectual history. On the Edge of Certainty is a compelling challenge to the prevailing Zeitgeist.\"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
