Re: Neurological understanding
Nonetheless I would like to focus if possible on specific examples where a philosopher/theorist (and perhaps forward wind to 19th/20th Century) has discussed ideas which rely upon an assumption of a neurological function.

Re: Neurological understanding
The decoupling of perception and reality (by a better understanding of neurology) essentially undermines simplistic philosophical arguments based on perception.Adventureland wrote:I am looking for examples in the western philosophical tradition where ideas have arisen based on a lack of understanding of neurological function. These assumptions may still be valid, or now refuted.
