Abstract

SANTOS, Paul Ruiz. Philosophy of mind: theoretical and experimental contribution to the emerging vision of mind-brain interaction. Cuad. neuropsicol. [online]. 2011, vol.5, n.2, pp. 111-127. ISSN 0718-4123.

This work aims to contribute to the discussion of mind-brain interactions from an emergentism point of view of the Philosophy of Mind, using some of the naturalized theories. Some proposed bridges between mind and brain based on experimental naturalization are neuro-psychoanalysis, mirror neurons, and psychosomatics, among others. Naturalization can be achieved by searching for the link between psychological and biological processes. This biological-based approach can be developed avoiding simplification and reductionism of psychological processes. We discuss the access to new insights about the mind-brain relationship and its implications through neurophenomenology, from an emerging and interactionist point of view.

Keywords : Psychology; mind philosophy; emergentism; naturalization.
