- More about Philosophy and Neuroscience: A Methodological Analysis
This book explores the methodological strategies for linking philosophy and neuroscience concerning the study of the conscious brain. The author focuses on four distinct methods for relating these two academic disciplines and applies them to the concept of Qualia and Information to understand how the metaphilosophical assumptions of each approach influence the definitions of those specific concepts. Gouveia argues for an approach that conceives the interdisciplinarity of both philosophy and neuroscience in a particular and sound methodology, offering empirical examples of the explanatory power of this methodology over the others.

This captivating book delves into the intricate relationship between philosophy and neuroscience, shedding light on the exploration of the conscious brain. The author takes a deep dive into four distinct methodologies for bridging these two academic domains: isolationist, reductionist, neurophenomenological, and non-reductionist. Through a comprehensive analysis of each approach, Steven S. Gouveia applies them to the concepts of Qualia and Information, illuminating how metaphilosophical assumptions shape their respective definitions. Gouveia passionately advocates for an interdisciplinary approach, showcasing the empirical evidence of its explanatory power compared to the others. Furthermore, he uncovers the implicit metaphilosophical assumptions that underpin each methodology, highlighting how they unconsciously influence researchers' approaches to the methodological challenges at hand. This thought-provoking work encourages readers to reevaluate their understanding of the mind-body problem and offers valuable insights into the potential of an integrated approach to understanding consciousness.
