Project description
This project within ideology critique and political philosophy assesses the impact of the “neurological turn” in the fields of politics and culture. The central hypothesis is that the neurological turn re-confirms the psychological paradigm as it in a close analogy to psychologisation entails a neurologisation. The three research domains are: psychology as a science, culture (especially cyberculture) and politics (psycho-biopolitics).
