Dalla filosofia alle neuroscienze (passando per la psicologia?). Una prospettiva scientometrica

We offer a scientometric perspective on the relationship between Philosophy and Neuroscience. More specifically, based on bibliometric analysis and on a survey shared among philosophers with an interest in neuroscience, we tackle the following three questions: (a) What is the impact of Philosophy on Neuroscience – and vice versa – as reflected in citation patterns? And how did these citation patterns evolve over time? (b) Is the traditional distinction between Philosophy of Neuroscience and Neurophilosophy reflected in publication patterns? (c) Is the relationship between Philosophy of Neuroscience mediated by Psychology?
