Into the brain: Where philosophy should go from here
Topoi 25 (1-2):29-32 (2006)
| Abstract | The maturation of the cognitive neurosciences will throw light on many central philosophical issues. Among them: semantic theory, perception, learning, social and moral knowledge, and practical reasoning and decision making. As contemporary medicine cannot do without the achievements of modern biology, philosophy would be pitiful if it disregarded the achievements of brain research | |||||||||
