Opis

Social Neuroeconomics explores the potential of philosophical and methodological reflections in the neurosciences and the social sciences to inform efforts at cross-disciplinary integration, with a special focus on recent contributions to mechanistic explanations.

Recenzje

"The book presents an outstanding collection of articles on the philosophical foundations of neuroeconomics and social neuroscience. It is a must-read for philosophers interested in economics and neuroeconomics. However, it is also highly recommended to decision neuroscientists wanting to ground their empirical research in philosophical concepts." - Camillo Padoa-Schioppa, Washington University in St. Louis, USA.

"Comparing the styles of social neuroeconomics closely one against the other and in their varieties, as we have tried to do in this review, can help better appreciate why the research program of Social Neuroeconomics is a possible gamechanger for the entire neuroeconomics enterprise." - Enrico Petracca, Oeconomia
