Abstract
"In many cases, the articles in Defining Right and Wrong in Brain Science suggest that taking a brain-based neuroscientific view of an issue of ethical concern to us – such as the question whether we have ultimate responsibility for our actions – may not be the best way to approach the issue. In order to answer some of the pressing ethical questions raised in this anthology of essays, we need to look outward at our social lives just as much as we need to look inward at the structure and functioning of the brain. This observation is not to question the quality of Glannon’s anthology. The essays show a clear awareness of the socially-situated nature of the ethical implications of our increasingly sophisticated understanding of the brain. It is an excellent overview of the current state of neuroethics."(p.3)
