A review by venkyloquist
Proust Was a Neuroscientist by Jonah Lehrer

2.0

In this memorable book, Jonah Lehrer emphasises the importance of bridging the reflexive divide between Arts and Science in order to facilitate a better understanding of human nature. Citing as exemplary examples the poems of Walt Whitman, the prose of George Eliot; the sketches of Paul Cezanne, the symphonies of Igor Stravinsky, Lehrer demonstrates in a beautiful manner the prevalence of Art over the Principles of Science. An extremely illuminating and invigorating read.
