Kurzbeschreibung: The aim of this conference is to bring together scientists, philosophers, members of diverse religious communities, and the public for a multifaceted, interdisciplinary and multi-traditional dialogue about the neurosciences and questions such as these. It will provide an opportunity to explore a range of emerging ethical, religious and philosophical issues associated with neuroscience research and its present or foreseeable applications in three thematic areas:

1) Ethical issues raised by developments in basic and applied neuroscience;

2) Religious and ethical implications of neuroscience for (a) understanding of the nature of the self and (b) notions of free will and moral and legal responsibility;

3) Ethical tensions between conflicting values and priorities in the application of neuroscientific findings and techniques to therapy, personal enhancement, and social, economic, and political objectives.
