Definition
- Neuroethics is a newly emerging branch of philosophy, with two main focuses: (1) ethical issues arising out of the sciences of the mind (especially, but not only, neuroscience) and (2) the ways in which these same sciences illuminate traditional philosophical issues such as the existence of free will, the nature of personhood, and the features of morality. Neuroethics is a heavily interdisciplinary area of inquiry, bringing together researchers from the humanities and the natural and social sciences.
