Front Cover; Neuroscience, Selflessness, and Spiritual Experience: Explaining The Science of Transcendence; Copyright; Contents; Acknowledgements; Section I: The Nature of Transcendence; Chapter 1: Introduction; 1 Introduction: The Brain and Spiritual Experience; 2 The Parietal Lobes, Selflessness, and Spiritual Experiences; 3 Selflessness: Bridging Neuroscience and the Humanities; 4 The Model: Mapping the Self, Selflessness, and Spiritual Transcendence; 5 The Evolution of the Parietal Lobes, the Self, and Selflessness; 6 Outline of the Book; 7 Caveats on the Model Presented

Neuroscience, Selflessness, and Spiritual Transcendence conveys the manner by which selflessness serves as a neuropsychological and religious foundation for spiritually transcendent experiences. The book combines neurological case studies and neuroscience research with religious accounts of transcendence experiences from the perspective of both the neurosciences and the history of religions. Chapters cover the subjective experience of transcendence, an historical summary of different philosophical and religious perspectives, a review of the neuroscience research that describes the manner by which the brain processes and creates a self, and more. The book presents a model that bridges the divide between neuroscience and religion, presenting a resource that will be critical reading for advanced students and researchers in both fields. Creates a common focus on selflessness as a reliable construct for use by all disciplines interested in thebasis of spiritual experienceLinks neuroanatomical data with religious texts from multiple faith traditions to describe the necessity of selflessness for spiritual experience and transformationHighlights disorders in neurological functioning that result in disorders of the self
