The article intends to present Catherine Malabou’s neurophilosophy in some of its main axes. To do so, after dividing the philosopher’s work into four segments, it drives to studies on the brain that investigate epistemological and political issues that neurosciences pose to humanities. Investigation takes place in three moments: a) What should we do with our brain?, which proposes to overcome dualism as a model of resistance to neurosciences and to incorporate biology into opposition to global capitalism; b) texts that criticize current notion of biopolitics as a key to the exclusion of neuronal and biological problems from main ethical-political issues of our time; and, finally c) question of artificial intelligence and how the problem of the brain contributes to the construction of a new paradigm in education and politics based on the relationship with the artificial blue brain. Finally, it concludes by proposing an internalization of the neurophilosophical problem as overcoming the nature/symbolic gap that keeps the humanities trapped in an idea of transcendence.
