| Course Objectives: | The aim of the course is to re-examine basic philosophical problems in the light of neuroscientific data. |
| Course Content: | Both traditional and contemporary relevance of neuroscientific processes to philosophical problems constitute the general content of the course. In this context, neuroscientific problems and solution research will be discussed in terms of epistemological, ontological and metaphysical analyses of philosophy. |
