Neuroplasticity, Memory and Sense of Self offers a proposal for overcoming the centuries-old divide between the human sciences and the exact sciences through recourse to an epistemological framework able to bring about a fruitful dialogue between scientific experimentation (methodological reductionism) and lived experience linked to the universe of meaning (holistic dimension). The author's approach focuses on cutting-edge issues relating to the close relationship that exists between cognition and life, such as synaptic plasticity, which is the basis of memory and cognition, the relationship-at the level of the higher cognitive activity proper to human beings-between perception, thought and sense of self and the nature of intentionality, the difference between consciousness and self-consciousness, and the genesis of meaning in the context of deep processes of self-organization in order to elaborate a new epistemological approach to the mind/body problem and a new model for the process of construction of knowledge.
