The authors analyze the most recent advances in brain research and discuss to what extent these findings can offer answers to classical questions about human nature. An essential book for those seeking to understand the ongoing dialogue between science and philosophical thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the rapid progress in research on the structure and functioning of the brain, and how neuroscientists have begun to enter terrain traditionally reserved for anthropology and philosophy. Faced with this scientific \"assault\" on the mental, a group of philosophers and scientists of various doctrinal orientations critically evaluates the results. The most recent discoveries are presented and their ability to solve the enigmas of consciousness and freedom is assessed, offering a plural and rigorous perspective on the limits and possibilities of the neurological explanation of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophy of mind and neuroscience: interdisciplinary dialogue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNeurological bases of consciousness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe problem of human freedom versus biological determinism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophical anthropology and its scientific implications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at students and professionals of philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, as well as readers interested in contemporary debates on the mind, consciousness, and human nature from a rigorous and multidisciplinary perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this book contributes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn updated and critical view of neuroscientific advances in relation to the mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn interdisciplinary analysis that integrates philosophy and science to address fundamental questions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDiverse perspectives from multiple authors, enriching the debate on consciousness and freedom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConceptual tools to understand the anthropological implications of brain research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eData Sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Arana Cañedo-Argüelles, Juan; Diosdado Gómez, Concepción; Rodríguez Valls, Francisco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Biblioteca Nueva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Spanish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTopic: PHILOSOPHY OF MIND, BIOLOGY, LIFE SCIENCES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: FRONTERAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: June 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of pages: 240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 370 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEditorial Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rigorous and timely work that seriously addresses the growing impact of neuroscience on philosophy.
