How the Brain Creates the Mind: An Examination of Antonio Damasio's Theory on Consciousness

The Emergence of Self from Brain Structures and Cognitive Processes

Must answer both questions.  Make sure to cite, quote and reference properly (APA style).

Question 1

In “How the Brain Creates the Mind,” Damasio proposes how the self emerges from brain (structures and/or functions) and cognitive processes (first and second-order representations, intentionality). Describe his position and argue, with the use of examples (at least THREE) if his position is convincing or not.

Question 2

Some philosophers and psychologists argue that the self is a narrative. Describe this position with the use of specific examples (at least THREE) and argue if you find this position convincing or not. Make sure you argue for or against the psychological and ethical theses of narrativity. Remember, Strawson argues against both, but you argue as you see fit.
