What ethical questions does neuroscience raise and help to answer? Neuroethics blends philosophical analysis with modern brain science to address central questions within this growing field:
· Is free will an illusion?
· Does brain stimulation impair a patient's autonomy?
· Does having a mental disorder excuse bad behavior?
· Is addiction a brain disease?
· Should we trust our gut feelings in ethics and politics?
· Should we alter our brains to become better people?
· Is human reasoning bound to be biased by our values?
· Can brain science be trusted to read the minds of criminals and consumers?
This book provides an opinionated tour through captivating cases and a close examination of the philosophical issues and scientific evidence. Joshua May's lively and accessible writing style makes it an indispensable resource for students and scholars in both the sciences and humanities.
Joshua May is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is the author of Regard for Reason in the Moral Mind (Oxford University Press, 2018) and co-editor of Agency in Mental Disorder (Oxford University Press, 2022).
