	reviewbicameral
		Julian Jaynes was an associate editor of the internationally renowned journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences and on the editorial board of the Journal of Mind and Behavior.
		Jaynes went to great lengths to prepare the reader for this foundational theory of consciousness by systematically deconstructing and challenging eight of the most prominent theories of consciousness available to him at the time.
		Julian Jaynes was very well informed during his time as I did not find any material which I recall to be outdated or updated in light of modern discoveries.

	Julian Jaynes - The Boyd of History
		Julian Jaynes, a Princeton University psychologist who died recently at the age of 77, is famous, or notorious, depending on your point of view, for one book only: The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, first published in 1976.
		Throughout the book Jaynes displays an impressive grasp of the historical aspects of his subject as well as of the state of neurophysiological science as it existed at the time he was writing.
		If Jaynes were writing now he would no doubt point to such modern enthusiasms as the vogues for speaking with tongues, channelling, or communicating with angels as further manifestations of the same phenomenon.

	Jaynes and Language
		Jaynes provides a wide range of remarkable data which suggests that prior to this breakdown, the right half of the brain literally spoke to the left half and sent it audial and visual hallucinations which people of those cultures understood to be the gods.
		Jaynes goes on: "Once a tribe has a repertoire of modifiers and commands, the necessity of keeping the inegrity of the old primitive call system can be relaxed for the first time, so as to indicate the referents of the modifiers or commands.
		Jaynes compares the language of the Iliad, which he feels was written prior to the breakdown to the Odyssey which was written perhaps in the transition or just after the breakdown.

	Probabilitas Bayes - Wikipédia
		Some schools of thought emphasise Cox's theorem and Jaynes' principle of maximum entropy as cornerstones of the theory, while others may claim that Bayesian methods are more general and give better results in practice than frequency probability.
		The main protagonists of the objectivist school are Edwin Thompson Jaynes (who died in 1998) and Harold Jeffreys.
		This argument has been expounded by Harold Jeffreys, Richard T. Cox, and Edwin Jaynes.

	Edwin Thompson Jaynes - July 5, 1922 - April 30, 1998
		was born in Waterloo, Iowa to Ethyl and Edwin Jaynes.
		Jaynes had essentially four different areas of research: his first could be called applied classical electrodynamics; his second, information theory (entropy as a measure of information); his third, probability theory; and finally, semiclassical and neoclassical radiation theory.
		Jaynes' thesis was extensively modified and later published by the Princeton University Press in 1953 [3] in the series Investigations In Physics.

	Jaynes.doc
		Jaynes does not fully see that, though there are significant parallels between schizophrenic experience and modes of behaviour, and the bicameral modes passed down to us, schizophrenic experience itself is twisted and distorted into new and bizarre forms by the attempt to communicate something of its search for authorisation, despite the sense of foreigness.
		Jaynes greatly neglects the intrinsic logic, and phenomenology of experience, of the realm of the spiritual, and indeed also, emphatically in line with categorical pure ‘this-worldists’, like Humphrey (1995), he simply neglects or dismisses the paranormal - which is highly relevant to the bicameral experience (voodoo, for instance, c.f., Ekeland, 1997).

	The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
		Jaynes suggests that the unprecedented stresses of the 2nd millennium B.C. forced the individual into isolation, within which a sense of I-ness appeared to fill the void left by the inadequacy of the god.
		Jaynes proposes that a series of unprecedented environmental stresses in the second millennium B.C. forced the two halves of the brain to merge into unicamerality.
		Jaynes suggests, among other things, that traders in contact with other cultures might have been forced to develop a "protosubjective consciousness" to cope with the gods of unfamiliar people.

	mentality that shaped human civilization
		Jaynes says that it is possible to isolate written commands and keep them at a distance and therefore avoid the immediate obedience demanded by the inner voice.
		Jaynes points out that while language evolved to assist in the development of voices in the evolution toward bicameral mentality, writing evolved to supplant the bicameral mind as the mechanism of social control (31).
		While Jaynes' work is extremely useful for what it deals with, I would like to set it in a wider historical context by noting that the bicameral mentality that his study deals with was simply a more refined form of ancient animal mentality.

	wAw : 0f
		Julian Jaynes gives us an inspiringly provocative model of the phases of the evolution of the inward connectivity we experience as consciousness, and he builds it around the changing spacialization of the inward stage, the place we think, and how it might have evolved over even relatively short amounts of time.
		Jaynes portrays the connective aspect of the bicameral mind as a psychoemotional communications network which was uniquely implemented across a variety of cultures, while sharing a general and obvious template of organization and function.
		Jaynes attends this departure with convincing anecdotes bemoaning the sudden silence of an entire domain not only of mind, but of protection, identity, relation, judgement — all of the features we suppose ourselves to rely upon logics to deal with in modern societies.

	The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind
		Jaynes feels that is it is a waste of time to associate the RAS with consciousness because it is one of the oldest structures in the evolution of the nervous system.
		Jaynes even restates a basic assumption of the empiricist that there is nothing in the mind that was not first in the senses by stating.
		Jaynes provides an example of how easy it is to influence the specifics of hypnosis with the manipulation of a belief system (what he calls the cognitive imperative).

	The Relationship of the Bicameral Mind and the Paranormal
		Julian Jaynes explains that man's self consciousness is the result of a schism that took place around 1500 BC, but that has left man with certain residual traits, such as religion, that he cannot simply slough off.
		To paraphrase Jaynes, a main reason that bicamerality ever appeared was as a means of social control wherein there emerged a leader, who was charismatic, adept with magic, and possessed the skills necessary to convey his private hallucinations.
		Or, on the contrary, crucial to Jaynes, humans are already altering their most conceptual schemata, the bicameral paradigm, when they act logically.5 In which respect, Jaynes sets apart the religious inherent instinct from the transient instinct of logic.

	American Scientist Online - Honesty in Inference
		Jaynes notes that such early developers of probability theory as James Bernoulli in the late 17th century and Pierre-Simon Laplace in the early 19th century saw it as an extension of logic to cases in which a lack of information makes deductive reasoning by Aristotelean syllogism impossible.
		Jaynes thought that "spectacular advances in the technology of experimentation, with increasingly detailed control over the initial state of individual atoms" were going to bring about a Bayesian revolution in quantum theory.
		Jaynes has been accused of exaggerating the differences between the frequentist school and his own.

	Dan Schneider Breaking Down Julian Jaynes
		Julian Jaynes was an associate editor of the internationally renowned journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences and on the editorial board of the Journal of Mind and Behavior.
		The primary goals of the Julian Jaynes Society are to foster discussion and a better understanding of the life, work, and theories of Julian Jaynes (1920–1997), the implications of his bicameral mind theory of consciousness, and the topic of consciousness in general.
		Julian Jaynes was a popular teacher, and he lectured in the Psychology Department at Princeton University from 1966 to 1990.

	Perspective of Mind: Julian Jaynes
		Jaynes bluntly declares "There is in general no consciousness in the ILIAD." Analyzing Homer's great epic, Jaynes came to the conclusion that the characters of the Trojan siege did not have conscious minds, no introspection, as we know it in the modern human.
		Jaynes stresses that the Iliadic man did not possess subjectivity as we do--rather "he had no awareness of his awareness of the world, no internal mind-space to introspect upon." This mentality of the Myceneans, Jaynes calls the bicameral mind.
		According to Julian Jaynes, "the idols of a bicameral world are the carefully tended centers of social control, with auditory hallucinations instead of pheromones." [Ibid, p.

	Julian Jaynes
		Jaynes turned archaeological sociology on its head when he proposed his stunning new explanation for the rise and fall of ancient cultures.
		Based on exhaustive research in multiple disciplines, Jaynes' concept was that ancient cultures were centered around religious practice that included actually hearing the voices of their gods, which Jaynes asserts originated in their own brains.
		Jaynes is a patient old guide whose careful, rational voice coaxes the student through every turn of the road.

	Salon Books Crackpot authorities
		Jaynes postulates that human consciousness as we know it -- the ability to "metaphorize" in mind-space -- is a relatively recent development.
		Jaynes displays a hallmark trait of the crackpot authority in drawing from widely disparate disciplines to back up a hypothesis that would never even occur to most scientists, let alone to laymen.
		A psychology professor at Princeton from 1966 until 1990, Jaynes wrote the bestselling masterpiece "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind." It was nominated for a National Book Award in 1978 and is still taught to fortunate university students here and there.

		Jaynes shows through abundant archaeological, historical, and biological evidence that the towns, cities, and societies from 9000 B.C. to 1000 B.C. were established and developed by unconscious people.
		Jaynes then demonstrates that consciousness is only a small part of mental activity and is not necessary for concept formation, learning, thinking, or even reasoning.

		Jaynes asserts that the bronze age mentality was "bicameral".
		In light of that, Jaynes seems to be making the error that Burt Alpert calls, "The fallacy of the excluded middle." [2] According to Professor MuKraken, Carl Sagan, in his recent book, "Demon Haunted World" [3] reports that half of the present world population believes the Earth is flat.
		Jaynes points out that metahor is an esential part of undrestanding language the way we do now.

		Jaynes is also guilty, in my opinion, of taking certain forms of religious language too literally, and, in contrast to writers such as Northrop Fry for example, downplaying the metaphorical and allegorical aspects of mythopoetic forces in religious literature.
		Jaynes' theory could be helpful to us in understanding why it is that self referential systems are not formalizable, and why consciousness cannot be identified with a particular set of brain processes.
		Jaynes claimed that consciousness is a much smaller part of our minds than we are conscious of because we cannot be conscious of what we are not conscious of.

		Julian Jaynes's great work explores the idea that before the age of writing, our minds were highly influenced by the right hand side of the brain where pre literate man heard voices directly from the "Gods".
		Jaynes goes on to propose how whole societies could be (and, based on the archaeological record, were) organized and could still function.
		And from this regional catastrophe, Jaynes proposes, the conscious "I" began to be mapped out in the human mind for lack of the bicameral voice, in which Jaynes sees the Odyssey as an example of this developed consciousness.
