Welcome to the CNS! We are a group of Christians who are
interested in furthering the dialogue between neuroscience and the truth of
the Christian faith.
Neuroscience, Emergence, and Personhood: Toward a Relational Ontology
Presented by
Tom Fikes, Psychology and Neuroscience, Westmont College
Whether a person is purely physical or is an immaterial-material composite will influence the study of the body-mind relationship. The lecture by Tom Fikes, Prof. of Psychology and Neuroscience, Westmont College, examines these theological and philosophical ideas and argues that neuroscience offers a pathway beyond the dualism-materialism debate and towards a better understanding of human persons. Replacing substance ontology with a relational ontology is more in accord with current practice in neural, cognitive, and social sciences, and comports well with traditional Christian theology. A discussion follows the lecture. The meeting welcomes all Neuroscience attendees.
