The Brain from the Moral Point of View. The Notion of the Neurobiological Recalibration of Ethics
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
A proposal for the neurobiological recalibration of ethics termed as neuroethics has been presented by Patricia S. Churchland. Churchland claims that the more we understand the details of regulatory systems in the brain, the more we are convinced that our moral standards and practices reside in neurobiology. The term "neuroethics" has been used since 2002 to describe a new subdiscipline of ethics. Neuroethics has two main branches: the first, and most fundamental, is concerned with the moral problems related to the application of neuroscientific discoveries, the other, the neuroscience of ethics, refers to the impact of neuroscientific knowledge on our understanding of ethics. This article discuss the unique character of this new discipline and seeks to show that, while neurobiology affects our actions, it does not determine their moral dimension.
