This text is the first historical survey to focus on the cohesions and discontinuities between historical and contemporary thinkers working in philosophy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience. The book introduces and analyzes early discussions of consciousness, such as: metaphysical alternatives to scientific explanations of consciousness and its connection to brain activity; claims about the possibilities and limits of neuroscientific accounts of consciousness and cognition; and the proposition of a ?non-reductive naturalism? concerning phenomenal consciousness and rationality. The author assesses the contributions of early philosophers and scientists on brain, consciousness and cognition, among them: Descartes, Malebranche, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Newton, Haller, Kant, Fechner, Helmholtz and du Bois-Reymond. The work of these pioneers is related to that of modern researchers in physiology, psychology, neuroscience and philosophy of mind, including: Freud, Hilary Putnam, Herbert Feigl, Gerald Edelman, Jean-Pierre Changeux, Daniel Dennett and David Chalmers, amongst others. This text appeals to researchers and advanced students in the field. 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 676 $a128.2 700 $aPecere$b Paolo$0475619 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910424640103321 996 $aSoul, mind and brain from Descartes to cognitive science$92068860 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04256nam 2200637 a 450 001 9910792349003321 005 20230124185937.0 010 $a9780226487243 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226487243 035 $a(CKB)2670000000015075 035 $a(EBL)515750 035 $a(OCoLC)609863564 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000364911 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11255040 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000364911 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10419481 035 $a(PQKB)10944343 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC515750 035 $a(DE-B1597)523218 035 $a(OCoLC)746883565 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226487243 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL515750 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10381185 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL253853 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000015075 100 $a20030122d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPutting science in its place$b[electronic resource] $egeographies of scientific knowledge /$fDavid N.

After all, one atom of carbon plus two of oxygen yields carbon dioxide in Amazonia as well as in Alaska; a scientist in Bombay can use the same materials and techniques to challenge the work of a scientist in New York; and of course the laws of gravity apply worldwide. Why, then, should the spaces where science is done matter at all? David N. Livingstone here puts that question to the test with his fascinating study of how science bears the marks of its place of production. Putting Science in Its Place establishes the fundamental importance of geography in both the generation and the consumption of scientific knowledge, using historical examples of the many places where science has been practiced. Livingstone first turns his attention to some of the specific sites where science has been made-the laboratory, museum, and botanical garden, to name some of the more conventional locales, but also places like the coffeehouse and cathedral, ship's deck and asylum, even the human body itself. In each case, he reveals just how the space of inquiry has conditioned the investigations carried out there. He then describes how, on a regional scale, provincial cultures have shaped scientific endeavor and how, in turn, scientific practices have been instrumental in forming local identities. Widening his inquiry, Livingstone points gently to the fundamental instability of scientific meaning, based on case studies of how scientific theories have been received in different locales. Putting Science in Its Place powerfully concludes by examining the remarkable mobility of science and the seemingly effortless way it moves around the globe. From the reception of Darwin in the land of the Maori to the giraffe that walked from Marseilles to Paris, Livingstone shows that place does matter, even in the world of science. 410 0$aScience.culture. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aScience and civilization 610 $ascience, geography, research, inquiry, scientific knowledge, site, region, circulation, dissemination, paris, marseilles, maori, darwin, asylum, ship, cathedral, coffeehouse, botanical garden, museum, laboratory, nonfiction, experiment, culture, meaning, truth, authority, verifiability, theory, hypothesis, methodology, case studies. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aScience and civilization. 676 $a303.48/3 686 $aNU 1500$2rvk 700 $aLivingstone$b David N.$f1953-$0275938 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792349003321 996 $aPutting science in its place$93765994 997 $aUNINA
