Bridging the Gap Between Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind
On this episode of Mind Matters News, hosts Robert J. Marks and Brian Krouse continue their conversation with Dr. Joseph Green on the limitations of cutting-edge neuroscience. In this segment, the focus turns to the philosophical questions involved. As Dr. Green explains, neuroscience is limited in its ability to answer philosophical questions about the nature of the mind and its relationship to the brain. As a result, the materialistic monist view that humans are nothing but their brains is a belief that goes beyond what neuroscience can actually prove. Dr. Green argues that there is room for alternative metaphysical models that posit some immaterial component to the mind, which neuroscience cannot detect or rule out. This is Part 2 of a three-part conversation.
