  • More about Discussing Cognitive Neuroscience: Psychology, Neurophysiology, and Philosophy on the Mind, Body and Brain


The sciences of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience all refer to the human being, and interdisciplinary collaboration is desirable. Criticism must be heard and considered, and ethical questions must be addressed, such as the possibility of the abuse of neuroscientific insight.

The fields of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience all have a common focus on the study of the human being, making interdisciplinary collaboration a desirable approach. Critique plays a crucial role in this collaboration, as it allows for the exchange of ideas and perspectives. It is essential to hear and consider criticism, even if it may be valid or unwarranted. The determination of whether criticism is unwarranted can only arise through discussion and conversation. In the realm of cognitive neuroscience, certain criticisms can be readily acknowledged, such as the mereological fallacy, which suggests that discussing the person is equivalent to discussing the brain. Another important issue for interdisciplinary discourse in cognitive neuroscience is the interpretation of the readiness potential, including re-evaluating Benjamin Libet's classic experiments. Furthermore, a critical discussion on cognitive neuroscience must address ethical concerns, such as the potential misuse of neuroscientific knowledge.

In conclusion, the sciences of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience share a common goal of understanding the human mind. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex nature of human behavior and cognition. Critique plays a vital role in this process, as it enables us to evaluate and improve our understanding of the field. By engaging in open and critical discourse, we can advance our knowledge and contribute to the betterment of society.
