Reflections on the Dawn of Consciousness: Julian Jaynes's Bicameral Mind Theory Revisited Marcel Kuijsten (ed.) Julian Jaynes Society, 2007 "I have rarely read a manuscript that so eloquently and elegantly examines a complex and pervasive phenomenon. The contributors of this volume have integrated the concepts of psychology, anthropology, archaeology, theology, philosophy, the history of science, and modern neuroscience with such clarity it should be considered an essential text for any student of human experience." — from the Foreword by Dr. Michael A. Persinger, Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience, Biomolecular Sciences Program, Laurentian University
