摘要

Discussions on gender are a minefield of opinions,with gender too frequently the loser to agenda.This is not surprising, given the complexity ofthe discussion, but it is unhelpfully muddied byopinions which are not grounded in evidence andcoloured by bias. Nevertheless, conversation whichseeks to put evidence at its core helps to move thediscussion onto a more useful level. Gina Rippon’sThe Gendered Brain does just this, drawing on work in cognitiveneuroscience and psychology to tackle the issues surroundinggender. Outside of the gender debate, neuroscience promises to pushforward various stale philosophical discussions, and it is no differentin this case.
