Abstract

Introduction: Since the methods of scanning brains have been fundamentally developed in recent years through the fMRI technology, some researchers in the fields of cognitive science and neuroscience have found the opportunity to investigate people's brains by this new method when some moral, aesthetic, or spiritual experiences are taking place for those people. Methods: One of the most important experiments of this kind is the one Joshua Greene et al. performed in the department of psychology at Harvard University. Results: First of all, they introduced a hypothesis called Dual-process hypothesis and then set up an experiment to confirm this hypothesis. In the next step, they derived some normative conclusions about the relevance of Consequentialism and Deontology in normative moral philosophy. According to this conclusion, moral consequentialist intuitions should be considered relevant in making normative ethical judgments because they are caused by the activity of Cognitive parts of the brain. In contrast, moral deontological intuitions (and the correspondent deontological judgments) should be ignored since the activity of emotional parts causes them. Greene et al. also claimed that they had derived a moral normative conclusion from some purely descriptive assumptions. Conclusion: In this paper, after describing the experiment and its methodology, four different claims derived distinguished from Greene's experiment and showed that just one of them can be confirmed. The argument called for the insignificance of Greene's experiment as an "order-changing argument". The paper ends with the conclusion that Greene's neuroscientific experiment lacks any normative importance for moral theories.
