Patricia Churchland and Neurophilosophy

Neurophilosophy stands between philosophy and neuroscience. Neurophilosophy has philosophy and neuroscience intertwined into it. Patricia Churchland is a Canadian-American philosopher. The term “Neurophilosophy”was first introduced by the publication of Patricia Churchland’s Neurophilosohy: Toward a Unified Science of the Mind-Brain. She wanted to make progress of philosophy of the mind. Her husband was really involved with her work also. After her continued education on neuroscience, she convinced herself more about that the neuroscientific techniques and empirical research were important to philosophy. Churchland was an eliminated materialist who believed a physical state of the brain was more necessary than some subjective biasing concepts of mental states. After all, the reason why Churchland championed neurophilosophy was that she believed that there should be a scientific base for philosophy.
