Neuroscientist, Professor
Antonio Damasio is a Portuguese American neuroscientist and professor at the University of Southern California whose work has demonstrated the central role emotions play in rational decision making. His somatic marker hypothesis and bestselling book Descartes' Error fundamentally changed how science understands the relationship between feeling and reason.
by Antonio Damasio
Damasio overturns the idea that reason and emotion are separate. His neuroscience research shows that feelings are essential to rational decision-making, not obstacles to it.
by Antonio Damasio
Damasio extends his life's work on the biology of emotion to argue that feelings, not reason, are the foundation of culture itself. From the simplest organisms to the highest art, homeostasis drives everything.
