Abstract

Nervous the history of science in human behavior tend to deny free will in likelihood. However, the theoretical near future is open and free will co-exist In order description method. In particular, Edelman of the "evolution of the nervous group regardless" seems more open in this sense In order to view this. I intend to start such a scientific theory that is presented, followed by the future I will deal with the philosophical analysis of this theory. The first is the reduction of processing regardless philosophy of science, and secondly to explore the history of philosophy the soul is not the same concept of flexibility. Third, I will propose such a theory of human learning interpretation. Comprehensive view is to show that the recent emergence of the nervous theoretical study of science and the compatibility between the co-existence. In the history of the neurosciences, there was a tendency to reject the possibility of free will in human behavior. However, recent theories open the possibility of compatibility with such free will. Specifically, the Theory of Neuronal Group Selection by Gerald Edelman seems to open perspectives in this sense. I will first present the scientific theory. Secondly, I will confront the science with philosophical analyses, first with the question of reductionism in philosophy of science and second with different concepts of the soul in the history of philosophy. Third, I will propose a theological interpretation of such an anthropology. The global perspective is to show the recent emergence of a compatibility between neurosciences and theological considerations
