Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this thought-provoking study, LaPlante traces the medical understanding of temporal lobe epilepsy while also exploring its impact on art, religion, and personal identity. She blends neuroscience with biography and cultural history, revealing how altered states of consciousness have inspired both profound insight and profound misunderstanding. Accessible yet deeply researched, the book challenges readers to rethink the boundaries between illness and creativity. Ideal for students of psychology, neurology, and cultural studies. Photograph available on request. Artikel-Nr. mon0001643013
