Abstract

Neuroethics: The Birth of a New Kind of Anthropology? - This paper proposes a view according to which the specific field of neuroethics is conceived as an exploration of what we learn about ourselves and our “functioning” thanks mainly (but not exclusively) to neuroscience. In other words, neuroethics proposes a new kind of anthropology dealing with the intersection of various disciplines (cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, law...) which becomes ever more pertinent in current debates due to the strong naturalization of research concerning the human beings. The subject of study – in light of its new and controversial features – would thus not be what we can do, but what we know or reliably think we know.
