Neuroethics in
Principle and Praxis
Edited by the one and
only Denis Larrivee
With the conclusion of the Decade
of the Brain and Decade of the Mind, neuroscience has advanced well beyond
single neuron functions, and begun to investigate global properties that emerge
from central nervous system operation. Core ethical issues for neural
intervention, in consequence, now touch on concerns over how the individual as
a whole may be affected. Central to these concerns is the fundamental value of
the human being, which lends normative weight to questions, interventions, and
practices influencing him or her. Yet, despite wide recognition of the crucial
relevance of human value, the derivation of metaethical principles that
underwrite this value is by no means uniformly agreed to. Why and how the human
being is normatively privileged, accordingly, emerge as core questions that
frame issues of ethical praxis. This book tackles this dissonance, and exposes
the philosophical foundations that are rooting contemporary divisions in
ethical approaches to intervention in the nervous system.
