Neurophilosophy: Toward a Unified Science of the Mind-Brain

Neurophilosophy: Toward a Unified Science of the Mind-Brain Paperback - 1989

by Patricia S. Churchland


From the publisher

Five chapters in the book's first part, Some Elementary Neuroscience, sketch the history of the science of nervous systems and provide a general introduction to neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropsychology. In the second part, Recent Developments in the Philosophy of Science, chapters place the mind-body problem within the wider context of the philosophy of science. Drawing on recent research in this area, a general account of intertheoretic reduction is explained, arguments for a reductionist strategy are developed, and traditional objections from dualists and other anti reductionists are answered in novel ways. The third part, A Neurophilosophical Perspective, concludes the book with a presentation and discussion of some of the most promising theoretical developments currently under exploration in functional neurobiology and in the connectionist models within artificial intelligence research.

A Bradford Book.

If you root yourself to the ground, you can afford to be stupid.
