Philosophy and Neuroscience

From the CHE:

While Churchland's intellectual opponents over the years have suggested that you can understand the "software" of thinking, independently of the "hardware"—the brain structure and neuronal firings—that produced it, she has responded that this metaphor doesn't work with the brain: Hardware and software are intertwined to such an extent that all philosophy must be "neurophilosophy." There's no other way.
