It really does astonish me the way things work sometimes. I started this blog over a year ago in order to write down my reactions to articles involving certain issues that I was concerned with, and after a long hiatus taken to focus on graduate school I've come full circle. Initially motivated by the flaws in psychiatry leading to a dehumanized society, after studying phenomenology for the past few years I've come to a rekindled interest in responsibility qua deliberation and choice, which is currently being attacked by reductionist claims of neuroscience in order to justify the treatment of behavior as diseases by the psychological and psychiatric fields alike. To keep things short for now, although the previous posts require some editing I find myself back on the track of my prior concerns, and look to continue updating this blog more frequently. I leave you with some excellent reading material:
Is Neuroscience the Death of Free Will?
Consciousness: The Black Hole of Neuroscience
Telling the Story of the Brain's Cacophony of Competing Voices
