Fundamental neurotheology: a proposal to rethink everything human

Abstract

Neurosciences with its innovative presence bring us closer to the physiology and cerebral architecture, but they also define our privacy. Their influence is felt in public opinion and expands across multiple disciplines that come under the term «neuro». Neurotheology appears among others, and it is in the middle of a scientific knowledge and a theological discipline. Their priority is to describe the neuroscientist activity corresponding to the religious, meditative or spiritual experiences. Neurobiology allows a better understanding of these activities and pose novel questions about the human being. My proposal is to develop a fundamental neurotheology. Just because theologies have their own rational ways to create thinking and develop critical proposals. I raise some of the possibilities that the theological knowledge offers to the neurosciences. Finally, I believe that the theological rationale developed by the contextual theologies becomes a proactive and disruptive source of neuroscientific descriptions which naturalize the human beings.
