[Neurosciences and philosophy of mind].

Vertex (Buenos Aires, Argentina), 2005
In this paper we argue that the interaction between neurosciences and philosophy of the mind is on the way to understand consciousness, and to solve the mind-body or mind-brain problem. Naturalism is the view that mental processes are just brain processes and that consciousness is a natural phenomenon.

Better Bridges: Integrating the Neuroscience and Philosophy of Consciousness

Consciousness and Cognition
Contemporary consciousness research has given rise to numerous theories in both the philosophical and neuroscientific domains (such as higher-order theory and global neuronal workspace), raising the question as to how well each is supported.

The Impact of Social Neuroscience on Moral Philosophy

2018
Part I begins with Patricia Churchland exploring the impact of social neuroscience on moral philosophy.

Precis of Philosophy and Neuroscience: A Ruthlessly Reductive Account

Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, 2005
This book precis describes the motives behind my recent attempt to bring to bear “ruthlessly reductive” results from cellular and molecular neuroscience onto issues in the philosophy of mind. Since readers of this journal will probably be most interested in results addressing features of conscious experience, I highlight these most prominently. My main
