THE BIOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF IDENTITY IN THE WORKS OF ANTONIO DAMASIO. THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

Open Access
|Oct 2017

Abstract

This paper confronts the modern findings of neuroscience presented in the works of Antonio Damasio with classic and contemporary concepts regarding the phenomenon of self / identity developed on the basis of the social sciences. In my view, both types of consideration involve illegitimate reduction of presented phenomena either by inadequate analysis of social entities, or by underestimating their biological basis.
