O que levou os seres humanos a criar culturas, esse conjunto impressionante de práticas e instrumentos onde se incluem a arte, os sistemas morais e a justiça, a governação, a economia política, a tecnologia e a ciência?
A resposta habitual a esta pergunta remete para a excecional inteligência humana, auxiliada por uma faculdade ímpar: a linguagem. Em A Estranha Ordem das Coisas, António Damásio proporciona uma resposta diferente. Ele afirma que os sentimentos - de dor, sofrimento ou prazer antecipado - foram as forças motrizes primordiais do empreendimento cultural, os mecanismos que impulsionaram o intelecto humano na direção da cultura. Além disso, propõe que os sentimentos monitorizaram o sucesso ou o fracasso das nossas invenções culturais e permanecem, ainda hoje, envolvidos nas operações subjacentes ao processo cultural, para o melhor e para o pior.

A interação favorável e desfavorável de sentimento e razão deve ser reconhecida se quisermos compreender os conflitos e as contradições que afligem a condição humana, desde os dramas humanos pessoais até às crises políticas.

Work Description

"A pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life."--Supplied by publisher.
