Ethical dilemmas resulting from neural sciences have promoted the emergence of a new discipline termed neuroethics. Researchers distinguish between ethics of neuroscience and neuroscience of ethics. The former deals with ethical problems arising from new forms of interventions into the brain. The latter investigates the neural mechanisms that may possibly underlie morality as such. This article presents a survey of the new empirical facts and directions, and a critical evaluation of the methodological and ontological problems underlying neuroethics as such. Conceptual analyses of research issues and the underlying implicit conceptions of human being are thoroughly investigated based on Heidegger's thought.
神经科学引发的伦理困境推动了一门名为神经伦理学的新学科的出现。研究人员区分了神经科学伦理学和伦理学神经科学。前者处理因对大脑进行新型干预而产生的伦理问题。后者则研究可能构成道德本身基础的神经机制。本文对新的实证事实和方向进行了综述，并对神经伦理学本身所涉及的方法论和本体论问题进行了批判性评估。基于海德格尔的思想，对研究问题以及隐含的人类观念进行了深入的概念分析。
