Neurogenetic determinism is a theological doctrine
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (5):893-894 (1999)
Abstract
In “Lifelines” Steven Rose constructs a case against neurogenetic determinism based on experimental data from biology and in favor of a significant degree of self determination. Two philosophical errors in the case favoring neurogenetic determinism are illustrated by Rose: category mistakes and an excessively narrow view of causality restricted to the linear form.My notes
