To the good, it lucidly explores a wide range of developments in neuroscience and wider discourses around them to make a compelling case that there is an emergent "neuro" approach that is shaping social policy and what it means to be human. To the bad, it fails to explore some important questions raised throughout, especially about context and does not fairly acknowledge obvious objections to some of its claims. One of its main arguments is I think essentially a straw-man argument about social science critics of the neurosciences. Ultimately I think the book is less than the sum of its parts - though some of those parts are excellent ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The brain sciences are influencing our understanding of human behavior as never before, from neuropsychiatry and neuroeconomics to neurotheology and neuroaesthetics. Many now believe that the brain is what makes us human, and it seems that neuroscientists are poised to become the new experts in the management of human conduct. Neuro describes the key developments--theoretical, technological, economic, and biopolitical--that have enabled the neurosciences to gain such traction outside the laboratory. It explores the ways neurobiological conceptions of personhood are influencing everything from child rearing to criminal justice, and are transforming the ways we "know ourselves" as human beings. In this emerging neuro-ontology, we are not "determined" by our neurobiology: on the contrary, it appears that we can and should seek to improve ourselves by understanding and acting on our brains. Neuro examines the implications of this emerging trend, weighing the promises against the perils, and evaluating some widely held concerns about a neurobiological "colonization" of the social and human sciences. Despite identifying many exaggerated claims and premature promises, Neuro argues that the openness provided by the new styles of thought taking shape in neuroscience, with its contemporary conceptions of the neuromolecular, plastic, and social brain, could make possible a new and productive engagement between the social and brain sciences.
