O homem não pensa, se emociona
(Man does not think, he has emotions
- Emotional Brain and Evolutive Psychology)
José
Carlos Fragomeni
In an interesting analysis of the history of humanity and the
traditional philosophical thought, the author presents paradoxes,
showing that “something” it is wrong in our culture. He discusses man's
evolutionary process, with focus in Knowledge. Explaining the
functional structure of the three brains of man, he inaugurates the
theory of the formation of the neocortex impelled by the intermediate
brain, in a catapult process, openning to man a way to the knowledge of
the whole evolutionary process. He breaks paradigms, affirming
that “man doesn't think; he is moved”. Man is little rational and
logical. The capacity to think is a tool with wich Life provided him for
survival: “I don't live; Life lives in me.” The author
disassembles classic thesis of philosophy, saying: “I live, therefore I
think.” In a deep and passionless analysis, he disassembles what he
calls the “dictatorship of the cortex”, that has been supporting the
whole structure of Science.

Rescuing the importance of the emotional brain, he proposes the
coalition between the scientific and the religious person. He ends
rethinking man and his Knowledge, through an the understanding of the
three brains, at this time of transition in our culture, thus justifying
old and strange contradictions.
