The Moral Brain

Although wise men came from the east (so they say), people in search of wisdom often can find it in their own backyard. The "moral brain" is a fine example of such a Ghent University based top notch research group (Prof Jan Verplaetse, Prof Braeckman et al..) where the waters of filosophy, ethics, neuroscience and social psychology mix and mirror a refreshing and inspiring knowledge about this very essential element of human nature. A very fine tribute to Darwin, indeed.
Their website and blog is worthwhile to visit and both provide lots of literature and info on the topic. Courses and conferences. I ordered the DVD .
A must visit for every Darwinist and indeed for every neuroscientist, be it neurologist, psychologist or psychiatrist who is genuinly interested in this new entry into the core of human nature , the essence of man as a moral and social entity.
