PHIL 80.29 The Ethics of Neuroscience
This course delves deeply into some of the main questions in neuroethics. We will focus on selected issues in the ethics of neuroscience, including cognitive and moral enhancement, disorders of consciousness, and the ethics of neural interventions. Readings will include both philosophical work in neuroethics and relevant seminal papers in neuroscience.
This advanced seminar is designed to be a culminating experience for majors in Philosophy, although properly qualified students in other disciplines may also be admitted.
