Synopsis
"Conscience is illuminating, entertaining and wise." Nature
Patricia Churchland, the distinguished founder of neurophilosophy, reaches beyond the familiar argument of nature versus nurture to bring together insights from philosophy and revolutionary research in neuroscience. Scientific research may not be able to say with certainty what is ethical, and the definition of morality varies from person to person. Still, from birth, our brains are configured to form bonds, to cooperate and to care. In that way, children encode the norms, values and behaviour that their parents embrace.
Delving into research studies, including ground-breaking work on twins and psychopaths, Churchland deepens our understanding of the brain's role in creating an ethical system. She then turns to philosophy that of Socrates, Aquinas and contemporary thinkers like Owen Flanagan to explore why morality is central to all societies, how it is transmitted through the generations and why different cultures live by different moral systems.
