Summary
The Sentient Cell: Unveiling the Cellular Basis of Consciousness
All species, extant and extinct, from the simplest unicellular prokaryotes to humans, possess an existential consciousness. Without sentience, the first cells that emerged some 4 billion years ago would have been evolutionary dead-ends, unable to survive in the chaotic, dangerous environment in which life first appeared and evolved.
This book outlines Arthur Reber’s theory, the Cellular Basis of Consciousness (…

Critics Review
The Sentient Cell comes at a timely moment,… It is increasingly obvious that the climate crisis is indistinguishable from the biodiversity crisis, and science calls repeatedly for “transformational change.”…The Sentient Cell therefore presents an essential intellectual framework that reconnects us to the best of the Western scientific tradition. It provides an intellectual pathway to reorganize our relationship with our life-support system. This is an essential transformational book for present and future generations, and for real and meaningful cross-cultural reconciliation. * Loys Maingon, British Columbia Review *
