PHI 171 - Neurophilosophy and NeuroethicsSemester Hours: 3
This course introduces students to neurophilosophy and neuroethics. Neuroethics explores what the sciences of the mind tell us about the nature of morality (i.e., the neuroscience of ethics) and how we should ethically respond to neuroscientific advances (i.e., the ethics of neuroscience). Neurophilosophy focuses on recent research in neuroscience and psychology on the nature of moral judgment, decision- making, and action and the implications that this work has for cognition and theory of mind, as well as theories of responsibility, free will, altruism, and the self.
