The Ego Tunnel

In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger explores the idea that the self is not an independent entity but a model created by the brain—a virtual image we experience as ourselves. The book delves into how this self-model evolved, raising questions about consciousness, free will, and personal responsibility in light of this perspective. Combining science and philosophy, it offers a compelling look at the nature of the mind and the illusions that shape our sense of reality.
