PDF-(BOOS)-Scientific and Philosophical Perspectives in Neuroethics

While neuroscience has provided insights into the structure and function of nervous systems hard questions remain about the nature of consciousness mind and self Perhaps the most difficult questions involve the meaning of neuroscientific information and how to pursue and utilize neuroscientific knowledge in ways that are consistent with some construal of social good Written for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience and bioethics Scientific and Philosophical Perspectives in Neuroethics explores important developments in neuroscience and neurotechnology and addresses the philosophical ethical and social issues and problems that such advancements generate It examines three core questions First what is the scope and direction of neuroscientific inquiry Second how has progress to date affected scientific and philosophical ideas and finally what ethical issues and problems does this progress and knowledge incur both now and in the future.

In analisi, paziente e terapeuta si trovano necessariamente nella zona grigia tra bene e male. Non vi sfuggirono i fondatori della psicoanalisi, come ricordano i casi di Anna O. e Sabine Spielrein: la sensazionale guarigione di quest’ultima sarebbe avvenuta senza le vistose inosservanze di ciò che oggi si considera limite professionale? I moderni manuali di «etica psicoterapeutica» contengono norme molto più estese, ma ogni approfondimento sembra aprire nuove zone grigie. Le regole troppo specializzate possono perdere il legame con l’etica generale. Si ripropone così l’imperativo di Kant: nel rapporto analitico, l’altro è un fine o un mezzo? Where is the line between instinct and free will in humans? How far can technology and medicine go to manipulate the brain? With every new discovery about the human mind, more and more questions emerge about the boundaries of consciousness, responsibility, and how far neuroscience research can go. The fledgling field of neuroethics has sought answers to these questions since the first formal neuroethics conference was held in 2002. This groundbreaking volume collects the expert and authoritative writings published since then that have laid the groundwork for this rapidly expanding debate.            Defining Right and Wrong in Brain Science traverses the breadth of neuroethics, exploring six broad areas—including free will, moral responsibility, and legal responsibility psychopharmacology and brain injury and brain death—in thirty provocative articles. The scientific and ethical consequences of neuroscience research and technology are plumbed by leading thinkers and scientists, from Antonio Damasio’s “The Neural Basics of Social Behavior: Ethical Implications” to “Monitoring and Manipulating Brain Function” by Martha J. Farah and Paul Root Wolpe. These and other in-depth chapters articulate the thought-provoking questions that emerge with every new scientific discovery and propose solutions that mediate between the freedom of scientific endeavor and the boundaries of ethical responsibility.            As science races toward a future that is marked by startling new possibilities for our bodies and minds, Defining Right and Wrong in Brain Science is the definitive assessment of the ethical criteria guiding neuroscientists today.
