Philosophy Meets Neuroscience: The Radical Shift
This chapter explores the controversial integration of neuroscience into philosophy, as articulated by a prominent philosophical couple facing traditional criticism after their 1986 publication. It examines the limitations of folk psychology and delves into the complexities of mental constructs, self-awareness, and the neurological underpinnings of decision-making. The dialogue critiques eliminative materialism while emphasizing the evolving scientific understanding of concepts like self and free will.
