From one of our preeminent neuroscientists: a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling, and culture.   The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. In The Strange Order of Things, Damasio gives us a new way of comprehending the world and our place in it.

As a fan of Damasio's work, I eagerly anticipated reading this book. The experience was similar to anticipating the first day of an undergraduate class with a celebrated professor, notebook open and pen in hand. However, by chapter 2, I was staring out the window planning the rest of my day. The book read like lecture notes from an entire semester of a relatively low-level undergrad class replete with some off-topic quips and colloquial stream of consciousness explanations/solutions/rambling on the state of social politics. That social ills can be remedied through more robust educational means is not a novel concept and not why I took this class. That said, Damasio comes alive when he makes his case for the historical subjectivity of feelings (contrast to emotions) as an embedded component of the central nervous system necessary for homeostatic survival and, thus, the evolutional root of consciousness. Unfortunately, the gems of his case are randomly scattered throughout the course: you'll have to sit through of what feels like 20 hours of lecture to get 2 pages of great notes. Admittedly, I had to start skimming early on and most likely missed a few points. The book seems to waver between journal article (stultifyingly long explanations of simple concepts with copious footnotes aimed at satisfying the most egregious academic peer reviewers) and interesting case study (think great NOVA documentary).2/5 stars worth of invaluable content...the rest, not so much.
