I have quickly read it. 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.
