Critical Neuroscience : a handbook of the social and cultural contextes of neuroscience

Critical Neuroscience brings together multi-disciplinary scholars from around the world to explore key social, historical and philosophical studies of neuroscience, and to analyze the socio-cultural implications of recent advances in the field. Original, interdisciplinary approach explores the creative potential for engaging experimental neuroscience with social studies of neuroscience Furthers the dialogue between neuroscience and the disciplines of the social sciences and humanities Transcends traditional scepticism, introducing novel ideas about ‘how to be critical’ in and about science Features contributions from eminent scholars including Steven Rose, Joseph Dumit, Laurence Kirmayer, Shaun Gallagher, Fernando Vidal, Allan Young and Joan Chiao Front Matter Colour Plates Introduction / Suparna Choudhury, Jan Slaby Motivations and Foundations.

Critical Neuroscience Brings Together Leading Scholars In A Collective Effort To Understand The Impact Of Intellectual, Economic, And Political Conditions On Current Views Of The Brain, And How These Models May In Turn Impact Society. The Editors Create An Interdisciplinary Forum, Withing Which Contributors Engage In Fruitful Debate About The Potential Of Tools, The Complexities Of Data Interpretationm And The Social, Political, And Cultural Contexts Of Neuroscience, And Address Fundamental Questions Of How To Critique Neuroscience In Society.
