"Biology has an important role in human behavior-what is classically known as' biológica'-load, but that aspect of man is not itself or in a unique way, providing vital dynamism unit or the whole person " .
I told ZENIT the Professor of Anatomy and Embryology, José Manuel Giménez Amaya , taught for many years at the Autonomous University of Madrid, and now director of the research group Science, Reason and Faith University of Navarra.
"There are genetic constraints of man having a relationship with his behavior, but can not say they are absolutely determinants. Unfortunately, many times when talking about the so-called genes that regulate our behavior, for example, 'gene sexual conduct "is intended to imply that everything in man is determined by the genome. And in this case is important to note, therefore, that from the scientific point of view this argument can not be sustained " .
I said at the symposium "Neuroscience and moral action, the neurobiology of emotion conditions and the decisions of virtue , that has been developed on 28 February and 1 March in Rome, at the University of Santa Cruz and has brought together leading experts in the subject.
Professor Giménez Amaya recalled that it is true that 'current neuroscience currents are, in fact, say that the brain is the only regulating all human activity ".
why" in our book " Neuroscience at the Neuroethics: scientific and philosophical narrative "(EUNSA, Pamplona 2010) have indicated that these currents suggest a reductionist view of man. Our thesis here is that such a view of neurobiology is wrong even from the perspective of one's own neuroscience and is ultimately very damaging to the same ".
In this regard, he said, " advocate a interdisciplinary view, also very natural to the birth of this biological discipline, covering all the problems of performance, behavior and life of man from the different perspectives of the various sciences ".
"A unified vision requires not stick exclusively to the data gives us only one discipline, as in this case neuroscience because then they become very partial data, fragmentary, often lack the drive necessary to reach accurate conclusions and deep " .
'indicated earlier that it is harmful to one's neuroscience "said the professor- because science seeks the truth and there is a field of truth exclude yourself from the self-discipline if their particular findings made the sole dimension of the human person ".
For Professor at the University of Navarra "does not seem appropriate to try to address the study of man watertight compartments that provide a partial and, unfortunately, sometimes very distorted. Hence the crucial importance of interdisciplinarity, which allows complete, unify, give meaning and bring much more complete studies and insightful. "
On the determinism of the acts of man be born of a closed biological status and unidirectional, as stated in some strands of current scientific thought, the English teacher said that "in the first place is not fully demonstrated from the point Scientifically, as we have seen during this symposium, there is a fully validated determinism neurobiological action. "
"From the point of view of neuroscience, my field of study " said - for many neuroscientists there a clear uncertainty in something so essential to our functioning brain as synaptic transmission or configurations of cortical and subcortical neural networks, these are essential aspects in biological function of the brain. Biological determinism has closed as many times, is thus clearly put on hold ".
With regard to moral behavior and the biological and genetic factor, Professor Sergio Sánchez-Migallón , lecturer the symposium and co-author of the book above and director of the Institute of Anthropology and Ethics University of Navarra, said 'behavior morality is based on moral experience and therefore classical philosophy as phenomenology see that morale is very rich experience and has aspects that experimental science fails to capture ".
Professor Sánchez-Migallón that he studied philosophy at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and a doctorate in this discipline at the University of Navarra, said that ; "philosophical moral experience is discovering many other fields very consistent with science. So this is not an opposition but a partnership between the two remaining items and issues that illuminate the science ".
concluded, " On moral behavior is some irreducible data of experimental science, as the consciousness of moral obligation, awareness of responsibility, his own free decision to be more influenced by many factors: the end one has the last word to say yes or no overlapping of such factors biological, because in the end are not the determining factor ".
