World Congress of Philosophy, Rome, 1-8 August 2024
Thematic Section: Philosophy of Cognitive Neurosciences
Philosophy of cognitive neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that examines the theoretical and conceptual foundations, as well as the methods and implications, of cognitive neuroscience from a philosophical perspective. It addresses fundamental questions and issues related to the study of the mind and brain, aiming to understand the nature of cognition, consciousness, and mental processes in the light of the neuroscientific evidence.
This area of philosophy explores various aspects, including the relationship between the mind and the brain, the nature of mental representation, the validity and limitations of neuroscientific methods, and the ethical implications of cognitive neuroscience research. Philosophers of cognitive neuroscience critically analyze and contribute to the development of theories and models in the field, often bridging the gap between empirical findings and conceptual understanding.
