Neuroethics and the History of Moral Thought

Journal Title: Studies in Global Ethics and Global Education - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue

Abstract

In this paper, the fact that there is no or little history in neuroethics is briefly considered. An open list of reasons explaining this fact is proposed as well as an open list of authors sensitive to history who adopt a critical attitude towards some bold claims expressed by a number of neuroethicists. These reflections are intended to make a humble case for more history in neuroethics.
