Abstract
Neuroscience has accelerated in the last few decades and we know more about the human brain than ever before. Yet, this has caused some to conclude that neuroscience alone can explain the human person. What should we make of this view? What exactly are human beings? Is the human mind merely brain chemistry? Are we just machines? In this lecture, Dr. Dirckx, draws from neuroscience, philosophy, theology and medicine to tell a better story about human identity.
