DESCRIPTION:<p>The title for this talk references New-Zealand moral philosopher Richard Joyce&rsquo\;s 2008 paper W<em>hat neuroscience can (and cannot) contribute to metaethics.</em> Joyce argues that neuroscientists and psychologists such as Joshua Greene\, Jonathan Haidt\, and Jorge Moll have overreached their grasp - utilising neuroscience to support moral emotivism and undermine moral rationalism. Joyce&rsquo\;s analysis suggests that the neuroscientist trespasses onto the territory of the philosopher. However\, when placed within the context of a relationship between philosophy and the sciences that <em>does not</em> place philosophy as anterior\, these concerns appear to evaporate.</p>
