Author Antonio Damasio

Narrator Andrey Finagin

Antonio Damasio is a well-known neuroscientist who studies the brain and other organs, arguing that they are equally important for understanding human life. In his book “Strange Order of Things,” he continues his research by refuting the idea of the brain as a computer, and by arguing that feelings play an important role in science, medicine, religion, and art. Damasio explores the nature of feelings and the origins of cultures through the lens of homeostasis—that is, the body’s ability to maintain internal balance and to develop.
