The poverty of neurophilosophy
Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 15 (5):539-557 (1990)
Abstract
The monist approach to the ancient mind-body problem styled "neurophilosophy" put forward recently by Patricia Smith Churchland on the basis of latter-day advances in the neurosciences is philosophically inadequate because it does not deal with the ethical dimension of the mind. Keywords: brain, complementarity, free will, mind-body problem, neuroscience, reductionism CiteULike Connotea Del.icio.us What's this?My notes
