Narrative Supposing Books The Mind-Body Problem

When Renee Feuer goes to college, one of the first lessons she tries to learn is how to liberate herself from the restrictions of her orthodox Jewish background. As she discovers the pleasures of the body, Renee also learns about the excitements of the mind.

She enrolls as a philosophy graduate student, then marries Noam Himmel, the world-renowned mathematician. But Renee discovers that being married to a genius is a less elevating experience than expected.

The story of her quest for a solution to the mind-body problem involves the prickly contemporary dilemmas of sex and love, of doubt and belief.

Crit Out Of Books The Mind-Body Problem

All on its own, this book has forced me to reconsider the merits of the chicklit genre, as hilariously dislikable heroine Renee Feuer seduces and marries the intellectual prince, gets bored, sleeps around and badmouths everyone while alternating boasts about her firm tits and peachy ass with extended quotations from L'Être et le Néant and weird bits of Talmudic trivia. It's the best subversive rewriting of Cinderella ever; I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day. Please God, let me sit

Finished Rebecca Goldstein's 'The Mind-Body Problem' today. It's really one of the best novels I've read; unabashedly Jewish, philosophical, and sexy. Truly, this is a meta-study of the mind-body problem in a way I'd somewhat pondered but never seen put into words. Highly recommended.One of the ideas the author brings is that of the 'mattering map'. At the most basic, it is as if we plot points on a grid of all the things that matter to us. As we mature, we notice clusters of points, some light

I must admit that I hated the book when I first started to read it. It was an amazingly slow read but I think I can also blame the slowness of my reading on watching 7 seasons of Game of Thrones while doing it. So, yeah, I read a 290 page book in 1.5 months. And now Im reading a 350 in less than a week. Anyway, enough with my ranting. The book was interesting. There were parts that I absolutely hated because I could not understand them (too much philosophy for my taste) and I found them as a

Maybe I missed something (but i don't think so!) I found this (a book club recommendation) tedious, self-centered and self-referential, and - worst of all - overwhelmingly boring. Read the author's bio, imagine a protagonist, and you've got the book. Any time an author has to put half the book in parenthesis to explain a) philosophical concepts or b) aspects of Orthodox Jewish life, she's not writing a novel, for Pete's sake!

So good (every page) then a deep twist and strong thought provoking ending. I read it once and I'll read it again. So good!

Renee Feuer is a spirited but floundering Princeton graduate student when she first catches the eye of living math legend Noam Himmel. Their courtship is an intellectual one, spiced with heady discussions on philosophy and math with an occasional dash of physics thrown in. Once the blush of new romance wears off, however, Renee finds intellectual theory wanting as she struggles to come to terms with orthodox Jewish upbringing, her own sexuality, and the husband who is physically present but

Half of it is a survey of the history of philsophy, but I related to the character so much, and I liked the writing so much, that I didn't mind all those references I didn't get and explanations I hadn't asked for.
