The view toward persons: personalism, neuroscience, and the present

Abstract

Robert McNamara has made a highly interesting contribution in Religion, Neuroscience, and the Self . He attempts to bring together, and to bring into dialogue personalist thought, religion, and neuroscience for the development of neuroscience-informed personalism directed toward the human future. In this brief response to McNamara, I will focus primarily on the ethical implications he has articulated for his new personalism.
