ABSTRACT Human freedom is best understood as self-determination. Free action consists of deliberation, decision, and action. The free human person deserves dignity, that is, we each deserve to be treated as a moral end and not merely as a means to someone else's end. Neurocentrist philosophy-a form of eliminative materialism-based on neuroscience, however, threatens the extinction of the human self and, thereby, threatens to turn our experience of freedom and dignity into a mere delusion. This evacuates the moral agenda of every activist liberation theology. One task of today's public theologian is to protect Cognitive Liberty, because it conceptually undergirds political, economic, and social liberation.

认知自由的斗争：在激进主义神学中改造自我

摘要人的自由最好被理解为自决。自由行动包括审议，决定和行动。自由的人应该得到尊严，也就是说，我们每个人都应被视为道义的目的，而不仅仅是作为达到他人目的的手段。然而，基于神经科学的神经中心主义哲学（一种消除唯物主义的形式）威胁着人类自我的灭绝，从而威胁着将我们的自由与尊严的经历变成纯粹的妄想。这疏散了每一个激进主义者解放神学的道德议程。当今公共神学家的一项任务是保护认知自由，因为它在概念上支持政治，经济和社会解放。
