Neurophilosophy, Science Philosophy, dualism, monism.Abstract
Neurophilosophy, allied to other sciences, like Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence, tries
to unravel the consciousness intelligence mysteries. In spite of the Neurophilosophy development, a Mind
Philosophy which essays to conform to the cognitive science observed-events has never had the chance to
be formulated, because there is an enormous disagree concerning the mental states origins. Designed as
the mind-body problem, it breaks up the philosophical and scientific community in dualists and monists. If the
first ones claim that mental states don ́t have the brain as source, the last ones claim that there is a relation
between brain physical states and mental states, without, however, being in a consensus about the details
concerning the mind-brain relationship.
