Che cos’è la mente? Che rapporto ha con il corpo? Quali sono le basi delle capacità cognitive e dell’identità personale? Nell’attuale indagine su questi temi, che coinvolgono la filosofia, la psicologia e la neurofisiologia, si rintracciano problemi, idee e argomentazioni che risalgono all’epoca della rivoluzione scientifica, eppure i filosofi della mente e i neuroscienziati raramente ne tengono conto. Il volume presenta una storia critica di tali ricerche dal Seicento a oggi mettendo in evidenza gli elementi di continuità e discontinuità tra gli studi contemporanei e gli antecedenti moderni. Offre inoltre esposizioni critiche e aggiornate delle opere di autori classici come Cartesio, Spinoza, Locke, Kant e Freud, ed esamina i fondamenti filosofici dei modelli delle neuroscienze cognitive, prestando particolare attenzione a questioni quali l’interpretazione metafisica dei dati scientifici, il riduzionismo materialistico e la mente animale. [Abstract translated by DeepL Translator: This is the abstract in English… What is the mind? How does it relate to the body? What are the foundations of cognitive abilities and personal identity? In the current investigation of these issues, involving philosophy, psychology and neurophysiology, problems, ideas and arguments are traced back to the age of the scientific revolution, yet philosophers of the mind and neuroscientists rarely take them into account. This volume presents a critical history of such research from the seventeenth century to the present by highlighting the elements of continuity and discontinuity between contemporary studies and modern antecedents. It also offers critical and up-to-date expositions of the works of classic authors such as Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Kant and Freud, and examines the philosophical underpinnings of models of cognitive neuroscience, paying particular attention to issues such as metaphysical interpretation of scientific data, materialistic reductionism and the animal mind.]
