Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie

When neuroscientist Maxwell Bennett and philosopher Peter Hacker published the classic "Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience," it marked the first systematic investigation into the conceptual foundations of neuroscience and the beginning of the ongoing struggle for interpretive authority over the human mind. At that time, their critique of the influential works of Daniel Dennett and John Searle was particularly sharp—these two thinkers are often cited as philosophical authorities by the neuroscientific community. In "Neuroscience and Philosophy," the four congenial debaters engage in discussion with one another.
