Neurofilozofija i društveni mediji: preplitanja kompleksnih mreža
Neurophilosophy and Social Media: Intermeshing of Complex Networks

Summary/Abstract: A neuroscientific progress during the last couple of decades has not only gradually revealed human brain as a „social organ“ which evolved to connect with the other brains, but has also raised the possibilities of wider neurophilosophical approach to a sphere of contemporary social phenomena such as increasing human interaction on a social media enabled by new digital technologies. Not only that neurophilosophy could provide an empirical basis for more objective considerations of complex existential, cultural, political and ethical aspects of human society in the present stage of global interconnectedness, but even some of the newer approaches from the anti-reductionist end of the spectrum of „behavioral and brain sciences“ (such as theories of chaotic or emergent dynamical systems) could be rendered useful in researching complex networks of social interaction, which may have a significant effect on strengthening democratic phenomena such as the „wisdom of crowds“, grassroot initiatives or velvet revolutions.
