Our brains exist as historical products, developing in interaction with themselves and with their surroundings.Hence there is a thin line between the organization of the nervous system and the political and social organization that both conditions and is conditioned by human experience. Looking carefully at contemporary neuroscience, it is hard not to notice that the new way of talking about the brain mirrors the management discourse of the neo-liberal capitalist world in which we now live, with its talk of decentralization, networks, and flexibility. Consciously or unconsciously, science cannot but echo the world in which it takes place.In the neo-liberal world, ?plasticity? can be equated with ?flexibility??a term that has become a buzzword in economics and management theory. The plastic brain would thus represent just another style of power, which, although less centralized, is still a means of control. In this book, Catherine Malabou develops a second, more radical meaning for plasticity. Not only does plasticity allow our brains to adapt to existing circumstances, it opens a margin of freedom to intervene, to change those very circumstances. Such an understanding opens up a newly transformative aspect of the neurosciences.In insisting on this proximity between the neurosciences and the social sciences, Malabou applies to the brain Marx?s well-known phrase about history: people make their own brains, but they do not know it. This book is a summons to such knowledge. 410 0$aPerspectives in continental philosophy. 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aBrain$xPhilosophy 606 $aCognitive neuroscience$xPhilosophy 606 $aAdaptability (Psychology) 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aBrain$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCognitive neuroscience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aAdaptability (Psychology) 676 $a128/.2 700 $aMalabou$b Catherine$0519811 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780971803321 996 $aWhat should we do with our brain$93830891 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01221nam 2200421 450 001 9910798772503321 005 20200127162820.0 010 $a2-35074-443-4 035 $a(CKB)3710000000842887 035 $a(EBL)4683080 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4683080 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4683080 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11266540 035 $a(OCoLC)959148699 035 $a(PPN)248788531 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000842887 100 $a20200127d2016 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPhnom Penh $eJournal de voyage /$fFranc?ois-Xavier Brau de Saint-Pol Lias 210 1$aParis :$cMagellan & Cie,$d[2016] 210 4$dİ2016 215 $a1 online resource (35 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a2-35074-008-0 607 $aPhnom Penh (Cambodia)$xDescription and travel 676 $a959.6 700 $aBrau de Saint-Pol Lias$b Franc?ois-Xavier$01507475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798772503321 996 $aPhnom Penh$93738248 997 $aUNINA
