A bit too heavy a literature as if I would consume it all in English, but once there is a German version - maybe.

It is good to see somebody who is sensitive to the complex and tricky inherent consequences and imlications of neuroscientific research and results - because it is so very tempting to abuse them for ideolgic reasons, and it is so very easy to be misled and following wrong conclusions. The "obvious" in neuroscientific research must be taken with utmost caution - especially by those trying to abuse it for political, legal or religious purposes.
