Francis Crick's Legacy for Neuroscience: Between the α and the Ω





‘You’, your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells…” —Crick (1994, p. 3)


Francis Crick was an evangelical atheist. He believed that scientific understanding removed the need for religious explanations of natural phenomena. From James Watson's and his early work, the structure of DNA explained the α, the origins of life. This was a starting point; from the elucidation of the structure of DNA, there was an explosion, a massive diversity of science that in part removed the need to postulate a creator or a creation myth. Francis still felt that life was no less astonishing just because it was biological and natural in origin. He had a consistent and completely rational world view without a need to invoke vitalism, or any non-material force (M. Crick 2004). And in the last decades of his life, he applied this philosophy to the Ω, consciousness.

... a baš me zanima kak bi on objasnil onu nedavnu zgodu kada su doktori prčkali po moždanim stanicama jedne žene pa je ona u jednom trenutku lucidno percipirala cijelu scenu sa stropa sale (i kasnije ju detaljno opisivala)...?... gdje je njoj bio skup stanica kad je bila "izvan" tijela?... ;-)
