Virginia Woolf, At Intersection Of Science And Art
by Robert Krulwich (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93184407)
And so Woolf created minds in action. Clarissa Dalloway in her novel Mrs. Dalloway, and Mrs. Ramsay from To the Lighthouse are portrayed from the inside out. They are all mind — jumbles of thoughts, memories, faces, objects, peeves, joys — all disconnected and incoherent. And yet, out of all that blabber there emerge very distinctly, real personalities.
How did that happen? "If the mind is so evanescent," Lehrer writes, "how does the self arise?"
