  • Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells Us about Morality



    Patricia S. Churchland, "Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells Us about Morality"

    English | ISBN: 069113703X | 2011 | EPUB | 288 pages | 1,4 MB


    What is morality? Where does it come from? And why do most of us heed its call most of the time? In Braintrust, neurophilosophy pioneer Patricia Churchland argues that morality originates in the biology of the brain. She describes the "neurobiological platform of bonding" that, modified by evolutionary pressures and cultural values, has led to human styles of moral behavior. The result is a provocative genealogy of morals that asks us to reevaluate the priority given to religion, absolute rules, and pure reason in accounting for the basis of morality.
