Philosophy of Neuroscience

There is a new web site dedicated to the philosophy of neuroscience. Gualtiero Piccinini (Philosophy, University of Missouri St. Louis) and I (Carl Craver; Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology Program, Washington University St. Louis) collaborated in assembling the page with the assistance of Corey Maley, John Gabriel, and several graduate students.

We construe the philosophy of neuroscience as the philosophy of science applied to neuroscience and as distinct from, though complementary to, neurophilosophy, which is the application of neuroscience in the philosophy of mind. A more detailed definition is the backbone of our preliminary topic-specific bibliography. In addition to this bibliography, the site contains links to other philosophers of neuroscience and online resources for the philosophy of neuroscience.

We invite your help in two respects:

1) Please help us to complete the bibliography, the list of people, and the list of pertinent links. Let us know if we have forgotten you, or if there are topics that you think deserve inclusion that are not currently on the list.

2) Please help us to announce conferences and workshops pertaining to the philosophy of neuroscience.

Thanks

Carl and Gualtiero
