Social study
Read the first chapter of Proust Was a Neuroscientist, 'Walt Whitman" and then formulate a meaningful response to them, including any relation to current learning material or your current experience w/ narrative and consciousness.
1. What did Whitman believe about the material body in relation to our soul? 2. What is ironic about Whitman's own state of health in relation to his work? 3. What did this chapter bring up for you in terms of narrative, consciousness, and your own life/philosophy?
