Meeting description
The main aim of the Workshop is to provide an international forum to share knowledge, problems and challenges at the interface between philosophy and neuroscience. We expect interdisciplinary collaborations oriented to the critical analysis of the historical evolution, the conceptual structure and the epistemological foundations of brain and cognitive sciences. Our objective is to encourage a deeper integration among philosophy, cognitive science, and the neurosciences. The Workshop also aims to promote research in philosophy of neuroscience in our country.
