Neil Messer brings together a range of theoretical and practical questions raised by current research on the human brain: questions about both the `ethics of neuroscience' and the `neuroscience of ethics'. While some of these are familiar to theologians, others have been more or less ignored hitherto, and the field of neuroethics as a whole has received little theological attention. Drawing on both theological ethics and the science-and-theology field, Messer discusses cognitive-scientific and neuroscientific studies of religion, arguing that they do not give grounds to dismiss theological perspectives on the human self. He examines a representative range of topics across the whole field of neuroethics, including consciousness, the self and the value of human life; the neuroscience of morality; determinism, freewill and moral responsibility; and the ethics of cognitive enhancement.

Penser en théologie le monde comme création ne peut manquer de conduire le théologien à se confronter aux approches scientifiques et philosophiques du monde. Comment alors penser des articulations entre théologie et sciences ? Quelles perspectives épistémologiques adopter ? Quelles catégories de pensée adopter ou forger ? Tout au long de sa carrière de théologien, Jacques Fantino a consacré sa recherche à ces problématiques, notamment comme Professeur des Universités au Département de Théologie et au Centre de Recherches Ecritures de l'Université de Lorraine à Metz. Les contributions réunies ici rendent hommage à cette recherche. Elles reflètent les approches interdisciplinaires qui caractérisent le Centre de Recherches Ecritures et sa propre recherche, poursuivant et alimentant le dialogue entre sciences exactes, littérature, philosophie, études bibliques et théologie.

Issue d'une thèse, l'étude montre la pertinence théologique de la pensée de l'épistémologue hongrois Michaël Polanyi. Enracinée dans les sciences naturelles et humaines du XXe siècle, elle explore la connaissance humaine et propose une vision du monde dont l'histoire serait celle de l'accomplissement de l'incarnation progressive de la vérité et de la liberté, qui en sont les principes intérieurs. ©Electre 2017

Over the past centuries the pendulum has constantly swung between an emphasis on the role of either nature or nurture in shaping human destiny, a pendulum often energised by ideological considerations. In recent decades the flourishing of developmental biology, genomics, epigenetics and our increased understanding of neuronal plasticity have all helped to subvert such dichotomous notions. Nevertheless, the media still report the discovery of a gene 'for' this or that behaviour, and the field of behavioural genetics continues to extend its reach into the social sciences, reporting the heritability of such human traits as religiosity and political affiliation. There are many continuing challenges to notions of human freedom and moral responsibility, with consequent implications for social flourishing, the legal system and religious beliefs. In this book, Denis Alexander critically examines these challenges, concluding that genuine free will, often influenced by genetic variation, emerges from an integrated view of human personhood derived from contemporary biology.
