Description

The second edition of Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience offers a comprehensive critique of various neuroscientific and psychological theories. M.R. Bennett and P.M.S. Hacker, an esteemed philosopher and distinguished neuroscientist respectively, present an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the foundations of modern cognitive neuroscience.

Through their analysis, the authors address conceptual confusions in major theories, including those of prominent researchers such as Blakemore, Crick, Damasio, and others. They also subject criticisms from philosophers like Dennett, Chalmers, Churchland, Nagel, and Searle to detailed examination.

The book provides constructive analyses of key cognitive attributes, such as information representation, conflict monitoring, and executive functions, offering insight into current debates in the field. With its exhaustive revision and update, this second edition presents a valuable resource for understanding the latest developments in cognitive neuroscience.
