''Wider than the Sky: The Phenomenal Gift of Consciousness'' is an English-language book on neuroscience by the neuroscientist Gerald M. Edelman. Yale University Press published the book in 2004 . The book includes a glossary, a bibliographic note, and an index. The title alludes to an English-language poem written by Emily Dickinson in about 1862 . In that poem, Dickinson describes the brain as "wider than the Sky", "deeper than the sea", and "just the weight of God". In the preface (page xiii), Edelman describes, as follows, the purpose of the book. The book's content is similar to another one Edelman co-authored: ''A Universe of Consciousness: How Matter Becomes Imagination''. Both books put forward the theory of neuronal group selection, also known as Neural Darwinism. Both books make a distinction between primary consciousness and higher-order consciousness. ==Reviews== * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wider than the Sky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
