Description

Review This book is a tour de force, offering a detailed analysis of the neuroscience of morality in relation to neoliberal economic thought. It is both a provocative critique of current neuroscience and a call for a more humane cultural conversation about what it means to be human. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the wider philosophical, theological or ethical implications of neuroscience. --Neil Messer, Professor of Theology, University of Winchester, UKA perceptive and illuminating work. Hidden within the technical theories of neuroscience, Bishop, Lysaught and Michel, uncover a moral language with disturbing implications for race, poverty, and many other areas of urgent political concern. It turns out much of what claims to be a “science” of the brain is, in fact, ideology. --Jason Blakely, Associate Professor of Political Philosophy, Pepperdine University, USA Product Description This book offers a provocative analysis of the neuroscience of morality. Written by three leading scholars of science, medicine, and bioethics, it critiques contemporary neuroscientific claims about individual morality and notions of good and evil. Winner of a 2021 prize from the Expanded Reason Institute, it connects moral philosophy to neoliberal economics and successfully challenges the idea that we can locate morality in the brain. Instead of discovering the source of morality in the brain as they claim to do, the popularizers of contemporary neuroscience are shown to participate in an understanding of human behavior that serves the vested interests of contemporary political economy. Providing evidence that the history of claims about morality and brain function reach back 400 years, the authors locate its genesis in the beginnings of modern philosophy, science, and economics. They further map this trajectory through the economic and moral theories of Francis Bacon, David Hume, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and the Chicago School of Economics to uncover a pervasive colonial anthropology at play in the neuroscience of morality today.The book concludes with a call for a humbler and more constrained neuroscience, informed by a more robust human anthropology that embraces the nobility and beauty, as well as the frailties and flaws of human beings as opportunities that necessitate social cohesion and the care of the least among us. About the Author Jeffrey P. Bishop is Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University, USA, where he also holds the Tenet Endowed Chair in Bioethics. M. Therese Lysaught is Professor at the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Healthcare Leadership at Loyola University Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine, USA. Andrew A. Michel is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine at Belmont University, USA.
