| Opplysninger | "Pragmatist Neurophilosophy: American Philosophy and the Brain explains why the broad tradition of pragmatism is needed now more than ever. Bringing pragmatist philosophers together with cognitive psycholo- - gists and neuroscientists, this volume explores topics of urgent interest across neuroscience and philosophy from the perspective of pragmatism. Discussing how Charles Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and G- eorge Mead benefited from their laboratory-knowledge, contributors treat America's first-generation pragmatists as America's first cogni- tiv- e scientists. They explain why scientists today should participate in pragmatic judgments, just as the classical pragmatists did, and how current scientists can benefit from their earlier philosophical ex- plora- tions across the same territory. Looking at recent neuroscientific discoveries in relation to classical pragmatists, they explore emerging pragmatic views supported directly from the behavioral and brai- n scien- ces and describe how "neuropragmatism" engages larger cultural questions by adequately dealing with meaningful values and ethical ideals. P- ragmatist Neurophilosophy is an important contribution to scholars of both pragmatism and neuroscience and a timely reminder that America's first generation of pragmatists did not stumble onto its pr- inciples, but designed them in light of biology's new discoveries"--. - 1.
