摘要
神经科学的最新研究成果为决定论提供了科学依据,由此推断没有自由意志和恒定不变的自我。而传统生命伦理学中我们对其它生命体的伦理义务乃是基于这个生命体具备自由意志,即有自我的精神生活。神经科学技术对自由意志和自我的挑战不会对我们的伦理实践产生重要影响。只有在实践生活中人们采用了科学研究结论,从神经科学的发现到影响我们伦理实践的范式转换才会发生。从相容性与非相容性、物理系统自身的识别、神经科学的其它证据等方面探讨了怀疑的内在原因,认为不会因为神经科学家的新发现而否认自由意志和恒定自我。
There are some findings of neuroscienee providing scientific evidence with determinism,which conclude our sense of free will and selfhood as an illusory. Traditional bioethics believes ethical obligation to others depends on the being's will free, that is we have a selfhood mental life. Even if free will lacks of scientific evidence, I am suspicious of the ethical practice shift of free will and selfhood caused from neuroscience . This paper argues only when people use scientific evi- dence, can neuroscience causes a paradigm shift in the practical ways we engaged with each other, and I have used skeptical arguments on compatibility and noncompatibility, identification of physical system, other contrary evidence about the way neuroscience is taken up,therefore,it will not change free will and consistent selfhood for the discovery of neuroscientist.
