John Bickle on Neuroscience and Reductionism

"Bickle works in philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of science, and cellular mechanisms of cognition and consciousness. He is noted for his "new wave reductionism" presented in his 1998 MIT Press book, Psychoneural Reduction: The New Wave. His second book, Philosophy and Neuroscience: A Ruthlessly Reductive Account, published in June 2003 by Kluwer Academic Publishers, brings recent research from "molecular and cellular cognition" to the attention of cognitive scientists and philosophers of mind and science. He is also co-author of the 5th edition of Understanding Scientific Reasoning (with Ronald N. Giere and Robert Mauldin). Bickle also edits an annual special issue of the journal Synthese on philosophy and neuroscience.

Bickle is Professor and Head of the Department of Philosophy and Professor in the Neuroscience Graduate Program. He is the founding editor of the Studies in Brain and Mind Book Series, from Springer Publishers."
