Os trabalhos apresentados neste livro abordam um problema caro à filosofia e que começa a intrigar os cientistas: a origem e natureza da consciência. A obra contrasta as abordagens filosófica e científica sobre o tema e expõe a disputa epistemológica que se dá entre elas na busca por compreender a relação entre mente e cérebro.
Baseado na filosofia moral contemporânea junto às neurociências, este livro traz a moralidade apoiada em bases biológicas, através de um sistema psicosocioemocional fundamental para que o fenômeno moral possa também ser exibido, regulando a vida em grupos sociais de sistemas complexos. Esta investigação mostra a importância do equilíbrio orgânico, a sincronicidade das competências neurobiológicas dos indivíduos e as habilidades para a vida social, como a neuroplasticidade e a cognição, essenciais para a aplicação de estratégias como a cooperação, reciprocidade, empatia e liderança para regular a vida social. Também apresenta as emoções como ponto central para a expr...
Quem (ou o que) somos nós? Somos os nossos cérebros? Ou será que somos nossos corpos? Ou nossas mentes? O que, afinal de contas, define nossa identidade? Os 35 ensaios que compõem o livro Você não é seu cérebro!, todos escritos pelo psicólogo Felipe Stephan Lisboa, tentam responder a essas e muitas outras questões. Escritos em uma linguagem simples, mas não simplista, tais ensaios articulam pensamentos das áreas da Filosofia, Psicologia e Neurociências com análises de inúmeros filmes e séries de forma a trazer ao leitor reflexões acerca da nossa própria humanidade.
Morality is often defined in opposition to the natural "instincts," or as a tool to keep those instincts in check. New findings in neuroscience, social psychology, animal behavior, and anthropology have brought us back to the original Darwinian position that moral behavior is continuous with the social behavior of animals, and most likely evolved to enhance the cooperativeness of society. In this view, morality is part of human nature rather than its opposite. This interdisciplinary volume debates the origin and working of human morality within the context of science as well as religion and philosophy.

One of the most prominent thinkers of his generation, Hans Jonas wrote on topics as diverse as the philosophy of biology, ethics and cosmology. This work sets forth a systematic philosophy of biological facts, laid out in support of his claim that mind is prefigured throughout organic existence.
Laws and regulations affect the daily lives of businesses and citizens. High-quality laws promote national welfare and growth, while badly designed laws hinder growth, harm the environment and put the health of citizens at risk. This report analyses practices to improve the quality of laws ...
Neuroethics is a recent field of study with an increasingly widening scope. More than any other, such a discipline could act as a central aggregator for the new knowledge on human beings that is emerging from contemporary neuroscience and its very relevant ethical, social and legal implications. This volume provides an updated overview of the theoretical perspectives and empirical research related to neuroethics. The eight chapters offer a cross-section of a lively debate that will surely serve as the focus of scientific, cultural, and political reflection in years to come.
Hans Jonas, a pupil of Heidegger and a colleague of Hannah Arendt at the New School for Social Research, was one of the most prominent phenomenologists of his generation. This carefully chosen anthology of Jonas's shorter writings - on topics from Jewish philosophy to philosophy of religion to philosophy of biology and social philosophy - reveals their range without obscuring their central unifying thread: that as living, biological beings, we are also beings who die, and who must consider the implications for current and future ethical and social relations.
This work for the first time brings together case law and law based on norms. It offers the reader a survey and a new explanation of evolutionary emergence of social contracts and constitutions in the European history, and should help to build a bridge between 'two cultures', science and humanities. It is addressed to philosophers of law, historians of law, theorists of science and social scientists.
