Abstract

The book "Biopolitics after Neuroscience: Morality and the Economy of Virtue" by Jeffrey P. Bishop, M. Therese Lysaught, and Andrew A. Michel critically examines the anthropology of human morality in neuroscience and traces its theoretical lineage. The authors argue that the neuroscience of morality is based on a problematic anthropology that reduces human behavior to market behaviors. They explore the history of economic thought and its influence on the neuroscience of morality, highlighting the connection between economics and neuroscience. The book calls for a reimagining of the human person and a new anthropology that emphasizes wisdom and community. [Extracted from the article]
