This is the easy-to-read version of prominent neuroscientist and nobel lauterate Gerald Edelman's theory of consciousness. Edelman's work in the cognitive sciences has moved everywhere from biology and evolution, to philosophical problems and computation. In this short and accessible book, Edelman elaborates on the subjects discussed in detail in "(a universe of) Consciousness" (with Tononi) and "The rememnered present", which are richly argued but also heavy to get through. In "wider than the sky" Edelman presents an complete theory on consciousness seen form the perspective of neurology and cognition. In a brilliant integration of many cognitive functions, he offers a glimpse og how man might have developed a "higer order consciousness", setting us aside form the here-and-now of animals, in the development of language, and an advanced sense of time and self. "Wider htan the sky" is readable, and concise without loosing much of the lucid pictures painted or argumentative detail in his previous books.
