    Thank you for the link to this podcast, it sounds so fascinating, will try to give it a listen these days.

    And I agree completely with you, regarding the vast implications that neuroscience has for our understanding of the world, including our philosophical one and it is what made me feel so fascinated by the work of Nayef Al-Rodhan, btw if you are interested to read up on more of his stuff, there is a collection of his Articles here.

    To me, there is so much untapped potential within neuroscience for philosophy. When you are saying
    This turns so much of 20th century analytic philosophy on it head (goodbye later Wittgenstein, goodbye Dummett).FirecrystalScribe

    it made me think of Plato's cave and how neuroscience might help us see more of the world than before, something that was simply impossible for Wittgenstein or Dummett because of their 'chains'.

    Thank you for the welcome! Indeed, when reading all of these fascinating and interesting replies, it makes me feel right at home in this forum.

    And thank you for the links! I have heard about Transhumanism before and I feel, that there is a difference to the concept of Neuro-Techno-Philosophy: Here, in my understanding, its central idea is regarding the benefits of transdisciplinary work - that through applying the knowledge of neuroscience our philosophical understanding of the impact of new technological advancements on humans improves significantly.
    While Transhumanism, on the other hand, wishes to 'use' technology to transform the human and to improve it?
    Please correct me, if I am wrong. I am also going to take the time and read the links that you send me more thoroughly.
