It is a dialog between Alain Connes (mathematician) and Jean-Pierre Changeux (neurobiologist) about some issues in brain and cognitive sciences. The trouble with this book is that none of the authors have a deep philosophic backgroud, while the concern is, to my mind, mainly philosophical. I think there is now no translation, I suspect it is not planned. The french publisher is Odile Jacob. Tuan.
