Neuroexistentialism: Meaning, Morals, and Purpose in the Age of Neuroscience delves into the profound existential challenges posed by advances in neuroscience. Authored by a distinguished group of contributors including philosophers, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and legal scholars, this book addresses the anxiety that arises from the threat to traditional notions of self, meaning, and morality. It explores how our understanding of the mind, once seen as distinct from the world, is now increasingly integrated within it due to scientific advancements. The text examines the implications of these changes on various aspects such as ethics, personal identity, free will, legal accountability, emotional experience, and the pursuit of life’s purpose. By bringing together diverse perspectives, Neuroexistentialism offers a comprehensive exploration of how modern science reshapes our fundamental beliefs about existence.
