The Ian Ramsey Centre , in collaboration with the Federal University of Bahia , is organizing the workshop "The Brain, the Mind, the Person" from August 15-19, 2016. Dr. Mariano Asla, a professor in the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, will present his paper "Prospects and Pitfalls of Naturalist Explanations of Moral Wrong Doing," a philosophical interpretation of Marc Hauser's cognitive-evolutionary explanations of moral wrongdoing. His aim is to highlight the contributions of these perspectives while also revealing some fundamental inconsistencies within the naturalist framework.

We congratulate Mariano Asla on being selected to participate in this workshop and leave an excerpt below.
