Description - On the Edge of Certainty by Raymond Tallis

Raymond Tallis's "The Explicit Animal" (1991) was a attack on attempts to explain human consciousness in purely biological terms. This book defended the distinctive nature of human consciousness against the misrepresentations of those many philosophers and cognitive scientists who aimed to reduce it to a set of functions understood in evolutionary, neurobiological and computational terms. "On the Edge of Certainty" does investigates and clarifying the implications of the view of human nature discussed in his earlier book, in order to understand the nature of truth, of language, of the mind and of the self.
