About this title

Synopsis

This book extends the microgenetic theory of cognition, developed out of neuropsychological case study, to the philosophy of mind. The theory attempts to account for the brain organization of language, action, perception, affect and memory along the same lines, and is extended here to problems of the nature of the self, free will, consciousness, feeling and value, the psychology of time and nature of change, and the relation of mind and brain. The title points to the argument that all life, past experience, future hopes and the ongoing present are all played out in the now of the present moment; that a description of mental activity is ultimately a description of the continuously changing present.
