Entgegen dem derzeitigen Selbstverständnis werden in diesem Buch die Beiträge der Neurowissenschaften zum Leib-Seele-Problem auf pragmatistische Weise eingegrenzt. Nach einer Rekonstruktion dieses Selbstverständnisses entlang der Searle’schen Position „brains cause minds“ wird ein exklusiver Zugang der Naturwissenschaften zur Lösung des Leib-Seele-Problems nach Sellars als Mythos entlarvt. Tatsächlich gelingt es den Neurowissenschaften nicht, das Gehirn und die ihm zugeschriebenen Leistungen innerhalb eines naturalistischen Forschungsprogramms zu fassen. Bewusstseinsphänomene sind nicht alleine auf physikalische Eigenschaften zurückzuführen, da Bedeutung nicht in allgemeinen Naturgesetzen der Physik beschrieben werden kann. Dem Konzept der Repräsentation der Welt im Gehirn wird das Programm eines semantischen Inferentialismus nach Brandom gegenübergestellt. Es schließt sich der Versuch an, nach Janich den Neurowissenschaften innerhalb der Leib-Seele-Diskussion einen Platz mittels pragmatistischer Positionen einzuräumen. Folgt man diesen Gedanken, ist die weitverbreitete Hybris der Neurowissenschaften gegenüber philosophischen Argumenten in der Leib-Seele-Diskussion zurückzuweisen.

Brain-Body-Mind in the Nebulous Cartesian System: A Holistic Approach by Oscillations is a research monograph, with didactical features, on the mechanisms of the mind, encompassing a wide spectrum of results and analyses. The book should appeal to scientists and graduate students in the fields of neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, psychology, physics and philosophy. Its goals are the development of an empirical-analytical construct, denoted as “Reasonings to Approach the Mind”, and the comprehension of 20 principles for understanding the mind. This book amalgamates results from work on the brain, vegetative system, brains in the evolution of species, the maturing brain, dynamic memory, emotional processes, and cognitive impairment in neuro-psychiatric disorders (Alzheimer, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorders). The findings are comparatively evaluated within the framework of brain oscillations and neurotransmitters. Further, a holistic approach links the brain to the cardiovascular system and overall myogenic coordination of the vegetative system. The results emphasize that EEG oscillations, ultraslow oscillations, and neurotransmitters are quasi-invariant building blocks in brain-body-mind function and also during the evolution of species: The temporal domain is where the importance of research on neural oscillators is indispensable. The core, holistic concept that emerges is that the brain, spinal cord, overall myogenic system, brain-body-oscillations, and neurotransmitters form a functional syncytium. Accordingly, the concept of “Syncytium Brain-Body-Mind” replaces the concept of “Mind”. About the Author: Erol Başar, currently Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at The Kultur University Istanbul, is a pioneer in the field of Brain Dynamics and Oscillations. He has published seven monographs, edited 10 books, and authored or co-authored 250 papers in neuroscience and cardiovascular research. Başar’s monograph, EEG-Brain Dynamics (1980) introduced the functional importance of brain oscillations and the quantum concept; it is considered a milestone in neuroscience literature. The author was educated in high-energy physics and in physiology at the Universities of Munich, Hamburg and Hanover. He taught physiology at the Medical University, Lübeck between 1980 and 2000. He was also involved in research and teaching in New York, San Diego, Ankara and Izmir. Başar’s route to multidisciplinary research was directly influenced, during the 1960s, by the advice of Werner Heisenberg and the renowned natural philosopher, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker. The Darwinian view discussed by Başar is the result of a longstanding collaboration with Theodore Holmes Bullock, in California.
