Neuroscience, Education and Cognitive Function

Neuroscience is a field that is growing increasingly in the world and comes in revealing with great detail the workings of the hu­man brain. Already the philosophy of mind is the area that deals with more conceptual discussions about what neuroscience usually address empirically, ie, brain-mind relationship, consciousness, the nature of mind and so on. The book Among the Philosopher and scientist: a machine can miss? shows how the integration of this knowledge is important to think about both areas (philosophy of mind and neuroscience), introducing basic concepts and contro­versies of philosophy and applying them to empirical questions.
