Over the last fifty years, neuro-scientific research has increasingly provided valuable insights into the nature of moral deliberation, reasoning and decision-making, as well as questioned the validity of traditional moral concepts such as free will, self, and intentionality. The purpose of this Symposium is to address these issues of broad resonance to students in today’s world and of intellectual significance to scholars in a wide variety of fields.  

 

Interdisciplinary in method and cross-cultural in scope, the Dialogues are expected to cross the conventional boundaries among the humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences in order to create the intellectual spaces in which to diagnose the “Neuro-Culture” of WKU and explore the trajectory of critical research in today’s “Brain Initiative.”
