This volume offers fourteen original chapters that address these issues, each written by a team that includes at least one philosopher and one neuroscientist who integrate disciplinary perspectives and reflect the latest research in both fields. Topics include morality, empathy, agency, the self, mental illness, neuroprediction, optogenetics, pain, vision, consciousness, memory, concepts, mind wandering, and the neural basis of psychological categories.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe chapters first address basic issues about our social and moral lives: how we decide to act and ought to act toward each other, how we understand each other’s mental states and selves, and how we deal with pressing social problems regarding crime and mental or brain health. The following chapters consider basic issues about our mental lives: how we classify and recall what we experience, how we see and feel objects in the world, how we ponder plans and alternatives, and how our brains make us conscious and create specific mental states.\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments ix\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1\u003cbr\u003eI Social Neuroscience and Philosophy \u003cbr\u003e1 The Neuroscience of Moral Judgment: Empirical and Philosophical Developments 17\u003cbr\u003e2 The Nature of Empathy 49\u003cbr\u003e3 I Did That!
