It seems obvious to think that neuroscientific advances, a revolution at the end of the 20th century, have had an impact on Contemporary Philosophy. However, this is not the case. As a discipline composed of numerous areas, it is still anchored in anthropological, cultural, epistemological and cognitive models of previous centuries (and even millennia). We will review what the real impact of neurosciences has been on contemporary thought, from a critical perspective and oriented not only to the study of the human being, but also of AI.
