Patricia Churchland is the author of Touching a Nerve: Our Brains, Our Selves. She is professor emerita of philosophy at the University of California, San Diego, and the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship.
"No one blends philosophy and neuroscience as well as Patricia
Churchland. Here she provides a much-needed correction to the usual
emphasis on reasoning and logic in moral philosophy. Our judgements
are guided by ancient intuitions and brain processes shared with
other mammals."
*Frans de Waal*
"Conscience is illuminating, entertaining and wise."
*Nature*
"... her conclusion—that conscience is not as fixed or universal as
we might like to think—is a fascinating and provocative one."
