For thousands of years, people believed that their entire mind and feelings were contained in the heart. Aristotle associated the heart with the soul and considered it a source of heat, while the brain was perceived as just a "refrigerator" designed to cool the hot heart. Why did everything change?
In this book, cardiologist and researcher Vincent M. Figueiredo explains what the heart meant in different cultures, how ideas about it have changed from the dawn of civilization to the present day, and how scientific thought has influenced the achievements of modern cardiology.
- What did our ancestors think about the heart?
- What is it in culture, art, and science?
- How have ideas about the heart changed the world?
- Is there a connection between the heart and the brain?
- Can we live without a heart?
This book will show the entire history of mankind and explain where our ancient ancestors were mistaken when talking about the heart, and where they were ahead of us.
