Social Neuroeconomics explores the potential of... Read more

Biography

Jens Harbecke is Professor for Theoretical Philosophy and Philosophy of the Social Sciences at Witten/Herdecke University, Germany.

Carsten Herrmann-Pillath is Professor and Permanent Fellow at the Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, University of Erfurt, Germany.

"The book presents an outstanding collection of articles on the philosophical foundations of neuroeconomics and social neuroscience. It is a must-read for philosophers interested in economics and neuroeconomics. However, it is also highly recommended to decision neuroscientists wanting to ground their empirical research in philosophical concepts." - Camillo Padoa-Schioppa, Washington University in St. Louis, USA.

"Comparing the styles of social neuroeconomics closely one against the other and in their varieties, as we have tried to do in this review, can help better appreciate why the research program of Social Neuroeconomics is a possible gamechanger for the entire neuroeconomics enterprise." - Enrico Petracca, Oeconomia
