Written towards the end of his life this book serves as a summation of his earlier scientific writings -- among them \"The Act of Creation,\" \"The Case of the Midwife Toad\" and \"The Ghost in the Machine.\" Schizophysiology is a condition which Koestler sees as singularly human. It seeks to explain \"the chronic, quasi-schizophrenic split between reason and emotion\" and does so by an evolutionary argument. Outstanding and thought-provoking whether you agree or disagree with his process or conclusions!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835730395424,"sku":"USED0394500520","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/A12USB3Gk2L.jpg?v=1792254910","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/janus-a-summing-up-0394500520-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
