This Element provides a comprehensive introduction to philosophy of
neuroscience. It covers such topics as how neuroscientists procure
knowledge, including not just research techniques but the use of
various model organisms. It presents examples of knowledge acquired
in neuroscience that are then employed to discuss more
philosophical topics such as the nature of explanations developed
in neuroscience, the different conception of levels employed in
discussions of neuroscience, and the invocation of representations
in neuroscience explanations. The text emphasizes the importance of
brain processes beyond those in the neocortex and then explores
what makes processing in neocortex different. It consider the view
that the nervous system consists of control mechanisms and
considers arguments for hierarchical vs. heterarchical organization
of control mechanisms. It concludes by considering implications of
findings in neuroscience for how humans conceive of themselves and
practices such as embracing norms.
