Neil Levy analyzes how the ability to understand and manipulate mental processes at the brain level does not represent a radical break from the past, but rather an expansion of existing tools. The work examines how this new power affects our social, political, and personal decisions, offering a rigorous reflection on the limits and responsibilities that come with knowledge of the human brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from the premise that neuroscience has revolutionized our understanding of the mind, the author delves into the field of neuroethics to question whether we are truly facing a paradigm shift. Levy argues that, while current techniques are more precise, the ability to influence the human mind is not new. The book analyzes specific cases where brain manipulation intersects with ethics, from the use of drugs to neuroimaging techniques, and examines how these tools transform concepts such as responsibility, identity, and freedom. Throughout its pages, it debates whether neuroscientific knowledge should guide our public policies and how we can integrate it without losing sight of fundamental human values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNeuroethics and its philosophical foundations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eContinuity between traditional techniques of mental manipulation and new neuroscientific advances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEthical implications of neuroscience in social and political decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between neuroscience, freedom, and individual responsibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLimits and scope of the power of brain manipulation in contemporary society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the philosophy of mind, applied ethics, and the intersection between science and the humanities.

Neil Levy manages to bridge the gap between experimental science and philosophical reflection, avoiding both naive optimism and technophobic rejection. His approach, which emphasizes the historical continuity of mental manipulation, offers a balanced perspective that invites reflection without falling into alarmism. It is, without a doubt, an essential read for understanding the ethical challenges of our time from a critical and well-informed perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVARIGANI EDITORES S A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407249563995,"sku":"9788494103742","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849410374.jpg?v=1781851131","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788494103742","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
