This book seeks to build bridges between neuroscience and social
science empirical researchers and theorists working around the
world, integrating perspectives from both fields, separating real
from spurious divides between them and delineating new challenges
for future investigation. Since its inception in the early 2000s,
multilevel social neuroscience has dramatically reshaped our
understanding of the affective and cultural dimensions of
neurocognition. Thanks to its explanatory pluralism, this field has
moved beyond long standing dichotomies and reductionisms, offering
a neurobiological perspective on topics classically monopolized by
non-scientific traditions, such as consciousness, subjectivity, and
intersubjectivity. Moreover, it has forged new paths for dialogue
with disciplines which directly address societal dynamics, such as
economics, law, education, public policy making and sociology. At
the same time, beyond internal changes in the field of
neuroscience, new problems emerge in the dialogue with other
disciplines. Neuroscience and Social Science - The Missing Link
puts together contributions by experts interested in the
convergences, divergences, and controversies across these fields.
The volume presents empirical studies on the interplay between
relevant levels of inquiry (neural, psychological, social),
chapters rooted in specific scholarly traditions (neuroscience,
sociology, philosophy of science, public policy making), as well as
proposals of new theoretical foundations to enhance the
rapprochement in question. By putting neuroscientists and social
scientists face to face, the book promotes new reflections on this
much needed marriage while opening opportunities for social
neuroscience to plunge from the laboratory into the core of social
life. This transdisciplinary approach makes Neuroscience and Social
Science - The Missing Link an important resource for students,
teachers, and researchers interested in the social dimension of
human mind working in different fields, such as social
neuroscience, social sciences, cognitive science, psychology,
behavioral science, linguistics, and philosophy.
