Description:
The Workshop The Neural Bases of Social Cognition innovates by bringing together researchers from complementary areas of the Humanities and Neuroscience, in an effort to unify discourses that can provide a better understanding of crucial issues to current sciences. Some important questions will be addressed, such as, the question of which would be the neural bases of empathy, that underlies our moral social behaviors, or which would be the neural bases of our cognitive and semantic abilities, that engender social organization and that allow the understanding of individual roles in society.
Objectives:
The Workshop provides the participants a broad overview of how Philosophy can be integrated to Neurosciences. It offers also a forum for discussion of academic researches carried out by different groups, from Brazil and Argentina and allows the presentation and discussion of philosophical theories in the light of empirical results of researches in Neurosciences. The multidisciplinary dialogue envisions researches that will be developed in the Laboratory of Experimental Philosophy and Cognition Study at UNISINOS and will contribute to reconcile the advances of the empirical sciences with the traditional philosophical theories, investigating the relationship between mind, brain and human social behavior.
