In this interactive seminar, participants will examine the critical role that science plays in the development of human values and moral and ethical structures. Ideally, these should be universally applicable, promoting human well-being across cultural and societal boundaries while minimizing cultural chauvinism, irrational aggression, and cultural homogenization. The project facing us is to expand the universality of moral/ethical structures based on evidence-based knowledge. The brain sciences, psychology and neuroscience, are critical for bridging the gap between science and human values because values and beliefs are, in the end, all states of the human brain and thus fall within the purview of rational scientific inquiry. Space is limited.
