Not in Our Brain

Yochai Ataria's "Not in Our Brain" challenges the traditional Western philosophical view of consciousness as separate from the body.

The book argues that our embodied experience is fundamental to our understanding of the world and ourselves.

Ataria uses diverse case studies, including prisoners of war and meditation practitioners, to illustrate how our bodies shape our consciousness.

He explores the implications of this perspective for understanding trauma and conflict, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The book offers a revolutionary perspective on the relationship between consciousness, embodied experience, and our understanding of reality.
