Abstract
From the Egyptian Book of the Dead to the doctrine of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, ancient secular and religious cultures throughout the world often considered the heart — and not the brain — to be the home of the emotions, cognition and even the soul. Brandt and Huppert reflect on the reasons behind this belief.
