The physiology of truth : neuroscience and human knowledge by
Jean-Pierre Changeux(
)
43 editions published between 2002 and 2009 in 6 languages and held by 2,213 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Drawing on provocative new findings about the psychophysiology of perception and judgment in both human and nonhuman primates, and also on the cultural history of science, Jean-Pierre Changeux makes a powerful case for the reality of scientific progress and argues that it forms the basis for a coherent and universal theory of human rights. On this view, belief in objective knowledge is not a mere ideological slogan or a naive confusion; it is a characteristic feature of human cognition throughout evolution, and the scientific method is its most sophisticated embodiment. Seeking to reconcile science and humanism. Changeux holds that the capacity to recognize truths that are independent of subjective personal experience constitutes the foundation of a human civil society."--Jacket

Conversations on mind, matter, and mathematics by
Jean-Pierre Changeux(
Book
)
23 editions published between 1995 and 1999 in 3 languages and held by 811 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Do numbers and the other objects of mathematics enjoy a timeless existence independent of human minds, or are they the products of cerebral invention? Do we discover them, as Plato supposed and many others have believed since, or do we construct them? Does the physical world actually obey mathematical laws, or does it seem to conform to them simply because physicists have increasingly been able to make mathematical sense of it? Does mathematics constitute a universal language that in principle would permit human beings to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations elsewhere in the universe, or is it merely an earthly language that owes its accidental existence to the peculiar evolution of neuronal networks in our brains? Jean-Pierre Changeux, an internationally renowned neurobiologist, and Alain Connes, one of the most eminent living mathematicians, find themselves deeply divided by these questions. Why order should exist in the world at all, and why it should be comprehensible to human beings, is the question that lies at the heart of these remarkable dialogues

The good, the true, & the beautiful : a neuronal approach by
Jean-Pierre Changeux(
Book
)
32 editions published between 2008 and 2013 in 5 languages and held by 760 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In this fascinating and bold discussion, a renowned neurobiologist serves as guide to the most complex physical object in the living world: the human brain. Taking into account the newest brain research--morphological, physiological, chemical, genetic--and placing these findings in the context of psychology, philosophy, art, and literature, Changeux ventures into the unexplored territories where these diverse disciplines intersect. Changeux's book draws on Plato's notion that the Good, the True, and the Beautiful are celestial essences or ideas, independent but so intertwined as to be inseparable. Placing these essences within the characteristic features of the human brain's neuronal organization, the author addresses unsolved questions in neuroscience today. With imagination and deep insight, Changeux illuminates the evolution of the brain and deciphers what new developments in neuroscience may portend for the future of humanity"--Provided by publisher

Neurobiology of human values by
Jean-Pierre Changeux(
)
23 editions published between 2005 and 2010 in English and held by 577 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Man has been pondering for centuries over the basis of his own ethical and aesthetic values. Until recent times, such issues were primarily fed by the thinking of philosophers, moralists and theologists, or by the findings of historians or sociologists relating to universality or variations in these values within various populations. Science has avoided this field of investigation within the confines of philosophy. Beyond the temptation to stay away from the field of knowledge science may also have felt itself unconcerned by the study of human values for a simple heuristic reason, namely the lack of tools allowing objective study. For the same reason, researchers tended to avoid the study of feelings or consciousness until, over the past two decades, this became a focus of interest for many neuroscientists. It is apparent that many questions linked to research in the field of neuroscience are now arising. The hope is that this book will help to formulate them more clearly rather than skirting them. The authors do not wish to launch a new moral philosophy, but simply to gather objective knowledge for reflection

Origins of the human brain by
Fondation Fyssen(
Book
)
31 editions published between 1995 and 2002 in English and held by 517 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Throughout history, humans have been fascinated by their origins. The evolutionary development of the human brain is of particular interest as human intellectual, emotional, and cultural capacities are considered to be unique among animals. This book brings together a group of eminent scientists from the fields of anthropology, psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. Their views provide a starting point for a debate based on the most recent scientific data relating to the evolutionary origins of the human brain. The sciences of the past (palaeontology, archaeology) are joined with the sciences of the present and future (molecular neurobiology, population genetics) to produce a lively, informative, and valuable synthesis

Chimie et cerveau by
Yves Agid(
)
1 edition published in 2016 in French and held by 445 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Nous sommes tous curieux de comprendre comment se développe et fonctionne notre cerveau dont toute notre activité dépend. Les avancées récentes des recherches dans le vaste domaine des neurosciences sont spectaculaires et mobilisent des milliers de chercheurs de par le monde. L'un des grands espoirs est de comprendre les causes de la survenue des pathologies et le potentiel de réapprentissage. Grâce aux apports de la médecine, de la biologie, de la chimie, de la physique et de l'informatique, le cerveau commence à être compris aussi bien dans la genèse de nos facultés intellectuelles, de nos émotions et de nos comportements qui en résultent, que dans ses dysfonctionnements manifestés par les maladies neurologiques ou psychiatriques. Quel est le rôle et l'apport présent et attendu des chimistes dans l'exploration du cerveau, dans la connaissance de ses pathologies dégénératives, de la neuropharmacologie ?

Les mathématiques et la biologie se trouvent aux deux extrémités du spectre de la science. D'un côté la rigueur logique, débarrassée de toute contingence matérielle, de l'autre une science d'observation, profondément tributaire de savoir-faire techniques et de concepts moraux. Ce livre d'entretiens tente de créer une passerelle entre ces disciplines que tout éloigne. Les deux auteurs, tous deux académiciens et professeurs au Collège de France, s'interrogent sur la nature de la pensée, l'existence des objets mathématiques ou le rapport entre le cerveau et les machines

Fondements naturels de l'éthique by
Jean-Pierre Changeux(
Book
)
15 editions published between 1993 and 2012 in French and Turkish and held by 227 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Après une brève présentation de synthèse des thèmes et des enjeux du débat philosophique autour des fondements naturels de l'éthique, une première partie porte sur l'évolutionnisme et plus particulièrement sur la question de savoir s'il existe une éthique objective sans fin autre qu'elle-même, ou bien, au contraire, si l'éthique trouve son explication dans l'histoire de la vie et dans celle des sociétés humaines. La section suivante s'intéresse aux neurosciences et à la psychologie. Quel est le rôle de "maître cerveau sur son homme perché" dans les comportements sociaux, en particulier dans l'évaluation des conséquences affectives de ses actes. Quelle est la part de l'inné et celle de l'acquis dans les choix à incidence morale? Enfin, débat de conclusion : éthique et société, avec l'enjeu toujours vif de l'opposition entre droit et normes naturelles et celui, encore plus dérangeant, de la distinction entre une morale structurée en commun autour du bonheur, de la justice, des droits et le poids des règles et conventions de traditions particulières, dont le pouvoir symbolique ne peut être sous-estimé. D'une société à l'autre, les divergences entre morales sont-elles sans appel? Come le souligne Dan Sperber dans ses remarques de conclusion, la tâche qui reste à accomplir pour distinguer le commun du relatif est considérable. Mais l'espérance est immense de progresser dans la compréhension de l'homme, d'accéder à de nouveaux espaces de liberté et d'assumer les responsabilités qu'ils engagent. <J-P. Changeux, p. 9-10>

The brain by
JEAN-PIERRE CHANGEUX(
Book
)
16 editions published between 2000 and 2018 in English and held by 224 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"One of the vastly exciting areas in modern science involves the study of the brain. Recent research focuses not only on how the brain works but how it is related to what we normally call the mind, and throws new light on human behavior. Progress has been made in researching all that relates to interior man, why he thinks and feels as he does, what values he chooses to adopt, and what practices to scorn. All of these attributes make us human and help to explain art, philosophy, and religions. Motion, sight, and memory, as well as emotions and the sentiments common to humans, are all given new meaning by what we have learned about the brain. In an introductory essay, Vernon B. Mountcastle traces the progress made in brain science during this century. Gerald M. Edelman touches upon features of the brain that challenge the picture of the brain as a machine. Semir Zeki discusses artists and artistic expression as an extension of the function of the brain. Richard S. J. Frackowiak probes the functional architecture of the brain. Mark F. Bear and Leon N Cooper explore whether complex neural systems can be illuminated by theoretical structures. Jean-Pierre Changeux sheds light on the knowledge gained in recent years concerning the neurobiology and pharmacology of drug action and addiction. Alexander A. Borbuly and Giulio Tononi ponder the quest for the essence of sleep, illuminating its complex dynamic process. George L. Gabor Miklos examines variations in neuroanatomies and sensory systems between individuals of the same species as well as variations across the evolutionary spectrum. Emilio Bizzi and Ferdinando A. Mussa-Ivaldi explain how scientists have approached the study of movement, the problems encountered, and the solutions proposed. Marcel Kinsbourne explores the unity and diversity in the human brain. In the concluding essay, Andy Clark points to recent work in neuroscience, robotics, and psychology that stresses the unexpected intimacy of brain, body, and world, supporting his belief that the mind is best understood as a brain at home in its proper bodily cultural and environmental niche. The breadth and scope of subjects covered in this volume attest to the extraordinary progress taking place in the study of the brain. This brilliant collection of essays by those at the forefront of research in this area will be of interest to all those interested in human behavior. Gerald M. Edelman is director of the Neurosciences Institute and chairman of the Department of Neurobiology at the Scripps Research Institute. Jean-Pierre Changeux is professor at the Collbge de France and the Institute Pasteur."--Provided by publisher
