Feelings: The need for a new science - Paperback

by Gyozo Margoczi (Author)

On feelings, in a completely different way... The fact that I can explain why Phineas P Gage used foul language may be interesting only to a few neurologists or psychologists at best.My statement that Descartes's famous saying "Cogito ergo sum", i.e. "I think, therefore I am" should be modified to "Sentio ergo sum", i.e. "I feel, therefore I am" will give a real headache only to a few philosophers."Okay, but then why should simple mortals read this book?" you may ask.Because it can help you find your way in the world, one of the many individual worlds, but the only world that exists for you as well: the world of feelings - the world of your feelings.

Author Biography

My name is Gyozo Margoczi. How would I live my life, if I could start it again? I do not think I would change many things. I was born in August in the year 1955 of our Lord. We lived on the outskirts of the forest, right above the paper mill, you know, in Szilvas-volgy. Where is Szilvas-volgy? In Miskolc, Hungary, a little back from Lillafured, towards the city. It felt good to be a child there. We used to go rambling in the forest or pilfering the orchards on the other side making the farmers grumpy. Then the school started and we had a young and very pretty teacher and, as a matter of fact, I owe it to her that I took to phys-ics and maths. Later on, I went to a secondary school which specialised in maths and physics and then to university. With my degree in electrical and mechanical engineering in my pocket, I set out into LIFE. I thought I understood everything. As time passed, I came to realise I did not. Do you know how much that pisses off an engineer? Engineers hate confusion. Their soul is happy if every-thing is in its place and if they have answers for their whys. As time went by, I got one slap in the face after the other from life. "It cannot go on like that any longer!" I thought. So I sat down and started thinking. This book is the result."
