Interventionist Mental Causation and the Methods of Cognitive Neuroscience

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary

Mario Guenther (Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy)

We impose properties of causation, as assumed in cognitive neuroscience, upon Woodward's (2005, 2015) account of interventionism. Within the resulting framework, we investigate to what extent we are justified to derive causal relations between mental properties and properties of the brain, if certain methods are used in the neuroscientific studies.
