With the rise of cognitive science and the revolution in neuroscience, it is now commonplace to assume that the study of a human person--a thinking, feeling, acting subject--is ultimately the study of the human brain. In both Europe and the United States, massive state-funded research is focused on mapping the brain in all its remarkable complexity. The metaphors employed are largely technological: A wiring diagram of synaptic connectivity will lead to a better understanding of human behavior and perhaps insights into the breakdown of human personhood with diseases of the brain such as...
