summary:
Reflection on the relationship between the brain and the mind, explored from the perspectives of neuroscience and Philosophy. Professor Jiménez Amaya's neuroscientific research and his interest in anthropology and ethics provide a vision of interdisciplinary dialogue. He examines the current limitations of neuroscience in understanding consciousness and mental illness, as well as the need to integrate philosophical analysis in the interpretation of neuroscientific findings. Finally, it proposes vulnerability as a fundamental anthropological concept, capable of enriching our understanding of human nature and its ethical and social dimension.
