Reviews

This book is written for philosophers and neuroethicists, particularly those interested in moral behavior. ... This book is a fascinating read. ... this book successfully offers some new lenses to examine controversial issues in neuroethics and is a positive addition to the field. (Brandy M. Fox, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)


Nada Gligorov focuses on several of the more metaphysical concerns in neuroethics and engages in an insightful way with philosophy of mind and empirical neuroscience. ... The writing is generally crisp and concise, and Gligorov's ability to explain complex ideas clearly will be of particular value to readers less familiar with the enormous literature in philosophy of mind. (L. Syd M. Johnson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, ndpr.nd.edu, March, 2017) This book is written for philosophers and neuroethicists, particularly those interested in moral behavior. ... This book is a fascinating read. ... this book successfully offers some new lenses to examine controversial issues in neuroethics and is a positive addition to the field. (Brandy M. Fox, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017) Through eight chapters of concise written text rich with analyzes of ideas and arguments, interweaving philosophy of mind and neuroscience data, Gligorov examines the impact of expansion of research in neuroscience (as the most developing and prominent science) and the novel neuroscientific results on commonsense conceptions of morality and psychology. (Martina Sendula-Pavelic, JAHR - European Journal of Bioethics, Vol. 8 (2), 2017)
