Neuroethics: Agency in the Age of Brain Science

“Neuroethics is hot but also complicated and controversial. How can inquisitive non-specialists learn enough to understand this growing field? Joshua May has provided a perfect solution. Just read this book. May’s overview is balanced and fair, stimulating and careful, profound and practical, concise and convincing.” –Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Chauncey Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics in the Department of Philosophy, the Kenan Institute for Ethics, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Department, and Law School, Duke University”Joshua May has written the book we need: a comprehensive and persuasive examination of some of the most fascinating and significant issues that confront us today. Accessible without sacrificing careful argument, and filled with gripping case studies, it’s an excellent introduction to neuroethics that is also a book that will be valuable to the specialist.” –Neil Levy, Professor of Philosophy at Macquarie University and Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics
