"In this brilliant synthesis, Frank Tallis argues that the unconscious -- along with quantum physics and the gene -- is one of the three big ideas of twentieth-century science. Closely associated with the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, it seemed to have fallen from scientific favor midway through the last century, but now it has staged a major comeback. New research in neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and evolutionaty theory has shown not only that the unconscious exists but that no account of the human mind can be complete without an understanding of this essential part of us"--Page 4 of cover.
