The new issue of the journal includes a cluster of articles, "The Brain Sciences and Intellectual History, 1945–75," organized by Danielle Carr and Andreas Killen. Read the introduction here: muse.jhu.edu/pub/56/article/… @_danielle_carr

ALT A quote from the article: "Taken together, the papers in this cluster make the case that the brain sciences formed a central problem space in which ideas about thinking were staged and contested. In so doing, we aim to resituate the history of mid-century brain science as a site of inquiry with major ramifications across political philosophy, political culture more broadly, computing, bioethics, and the human sciences. Our claim is that a technically robust history of mid-century brain science is, on its own terms, a crucial site for undertaking intellectual history."
