About this book

Bringing together active neuroscientists, neurophilosophers, and scholars this volume considers the prospects of a neuroscientifically-informed pragmatism and a pragmatically-informed neuroscience on issues ranging from the nature of mental life to the implications of neuroscience for education and ethics.

Reviews

“If you’re interested in delving into the potentially fruitful interplay of American Pragmatism and contemporary neuroscience, I would suggest having a look at this intriguing collection of papers. It nicely gets one up to speed on a number of different pragmatically-oriented philosophers who have been turning their interests to neurobiology in recent years, as well as a number of other neuroscientists, social scientists and cognitive scientists who take inspiration from the pragmatic perspective on the mind … .” (Brian L. Keeley, Minds and Machines, Vol. 26, 2016)
