Even being released in 1986, this book is an amazing argument for 1) the co-dependence of Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology (and in a modern context Cognitive Science as a multi-disciplinary enterprise) and more specifically 2) that brain states are mental states, specifically in part II. It has a great tripartite structure, which makes it suitable for just about anybody with interest. Part I goes over Neuroscience, getting the reader current to 1980 levels (quite well), Part II is Philosophy of Science, which is still 100% relevant today and IMHO still has a lot to say that has not been integrated, and Part III covers the synthesis of the two. All in all, a fantastic read. Churchland showcases her wit and brilliance in an accessible and important way. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Five chapters in the book's first part, "Some Elementary Neuroscience," sketch the history of the science of nervous systems and provide a general introduction to neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropsychology. In the second part, "Recent Developments in the Philosophy of Science," chapters place the mind-body problem within the wider context of the philosophy of science. Drawing on recent research in this area, a general account of intertheoretic reduction is explained, arguments for a reductionist strategy are developed, and traditional objections from dualists and other anti reductionists are answered in novel ways. The third part, "A Neurophilosophical Perspective," concludes the book with a presentation and discussion of some of the most promising theoretical developments currently under exploration in functional neurobiology and in the connectionist models within artificial intelligence research.
