Накратко на български
Интелектуалното развитие на невронауките анализира как идеите за мозъка влияят върху нашето мислене. Това помага да се разберат границите между биологичните особености на човека и социалните неравенства.

The Seductive Power of the Neurosciences: An Intellectual Genealogy
This was an academically successful project although it didn’t produce a final permanent post in the University, in spite of the proposed ‘reintegration’ as expected from the spirit of the grant and the nature and content of the original application. The contract of the fellow was extended for 58 days and then he was made redundant. Had the fellow known this from the beginning he would have applied for another Host for the Reintegration Grant, where reintegration could have effectively been achieved. The fellow published a large number of outputs in excellent peer-reviewed international journals, mostly as sole author. The academic excellence of the fellow’s work has been confirmed by his promotion to Senior Research fellow by the internal University procedure and his being awarded for next academic year a fellowship by the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (USA) for his highly innovative research on epigenetics and sociology (“Remaking the boundaries of natural vs. social inequalities”). Publications and presentations have been extremely successful during these 3-year project. This is an academically outstanding record that definitely exceeds expectations about the proposed output of the project. Networking was particular successful with dissemination of outputs in several international conferences and consolidation of strong academic relationship with world-known expert in the field in UK and internationally. The consolidation of the role of the fellow as internationally-known leader has been particularly significant in the last 18 months.

Цел на проекта
The current explosion of neuroscientific references in a plethora of disciplinary fields, with plenty of psychological and cultural phenomena that have been ‘turned neurobiological’, represents one of the most remarkable characteristics in our epoch. What once was described with recourse to a humanistic vocabulary is today increasingly represented by the language of neurobiology: a certain “way of thinking has taken shape” today (Rose, 2007), one for which everything that is relevant for human beings has to leave a trace in the brain.The aim of this multidisciplinary research project is to investigate such a ‘neuromania’ scenario of our days, trying to shed light on some background reasons for the current seductive power of the neurosciences. Building on the previous two-year IEF MC at the same host institution, this project explores the way neuroscientific references have penetrated countless disciplinary fields, created their own plethora of neurodisciplines and affirmed themselves as a foundational narrative endowed with epistemic but also normative force. The research follows a three-stage approach:A) A Cartography of the emergence of a new constellation of “neurodisciplines” and the way neuroscientific suggestions have made their way through plenty of disciplinary fields, included areas traditionally resistant to neurobiological discourses (e.g. philosophy, sociology and political theory)B) An Assessment of the specific cognitive dimension of the problem, with particular focus on “the illusion of explanatory depth” (Keil, 2003) which seems part of the “seductive allure” (Skolnick Weisberg et al., 2008) and “particular persuasive” force (McCabe and Castel, 2008) of neuro-explanations and brain imagesC) An Analysis of the moral and normative dimension that contributes to the intellectual authority of the neurosciences, interpreted here as a new source for moral and political discourses after the intellectual failures and traumas of the twentieth century""
