Pasquinelli, MatteoWolfe, Charles T.2018-09-252018-09-252015978-3-95796-066-5https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/3009The brain in its plasticity and inherent “sociality” can be proclaimed and projected as a revolutionary organ. Far from the old reactions which opposed the authenticity of political theory and praxis to the dangerous naturalism of “cognitive science” (with images of men in white coats, the RAND Corporation or military LSD experiments), recent decades have shown us some of the potentiality of the social brain (Vygotsky, Negri, and Virno). Is the brain somehow inherently a utopian topos? If in some earlier papers I sought to defend naturalism against these reactions, here I consider a new challenge: the recently emerged disciplines of neuronormativity, which seek in their own way to overcome the nature-normativity divide. This is the task of a materialist brain theory today.engCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 Genericmaterialismnaturalismneuronormativityneurophilosophy150Brain Theory Between Utopia and Dystopia.
