Neil Messer brings together a range of theoretical and practical
questions raised by current research on the human brain: questions
about both the 'ethics of neuroscience' and the 'neuroscience of
ethics'. While some of these are familiar to theologians, others have
been more or less ignored hitherto, and the field of neuroethics as a
whole has received little theological attention. Drawing on both
theological ethics and the science-and-theology field, Messer
discusses cognitive-scientific and neuroscientific studies of
religion, arguing that they do not give grounds to dismiss theological
perspectives on the human self. He examines a representative range of
topics across the whole field of neuroethics, including consciousness,
the self and the value of human life; the neuroscience of morality;
determinism, freewill and moral responsibility; and the ethics of
cognitive enhancement.
