These are all memes, a term first coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene. Memes, like genes, are replicators, and this enthralling book is an investigation of whether this link between genes and memes can lead to important discoveries about the nature of the inner self. Confronting the deepest questions about our inner selves, with all our emotions, memories, beliefs, and decisions, Susan Blackmore makes a compelling case for the theory that the inner self is merely an illusion created by the memes for the sake of replication.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Popular ScienceTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Weight: 215gRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
