Description:
Princeton University Press, 2000 8vo (22 cm), X, 335 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "Will understanding our brains help us to know our minds? Or is there an unbridgeable distance between the work of neuroscience and the workings of human consciousness? In an exchange between neuroscientist Jean-Pierre Changeux and philosopher Paul Ricoeur, this study explores the vexed territory between these divergent approaches - and comes to a deeper, more complex perspective on human nature. Ranging across diverse traditions, from phrenology to PET scans and from Spinoza to Charles Taylor, "What Makes Us Think?" revolves around a central issue: the relation between the facts (or "what is") of science and the prescriptions (or "what ought to be") of ethics." (from the blurb)
