MAPS: "Cognitive Liberty & Neuroethics" curriculum now available

["Meme [Mark B.]" <meme@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics is pleased to announce that its
"Cognitive Liberty & Neuroethics" curriculum is now available online at:

http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/curriculum/

With the intent of making this course as easy as possible to organize and
run, we are offering a syllabus (along with a reading package and web
resources) to interested post-secondary professors and students so that they
may offer the course to students on their campus.

Many academic institutions fail to discuss the topic and importance of
cognitive liberty (the right of each individual to think independently, to
use the full spectrum of his or her mind, and to engage in multiple modes of
thought), even though the justification for their very existence depends on
it. In today's drug and technology saturated world, the topic of cognitive
liberty is of utmost importance to anyone interested in living in a society
where one has the ability to choose and voice one's own viewpoint without
fear of recrimination.

We hope that students will find "Cognitive Liberty & Neuroethics" to be a
stimulating, thought-provoking addition to their education. If you know of
anyone who might want to run this course at their institution, please
forward the above address to them.

As the CCLE's Summer Fellow for 2002, my main task was to design this
course, and I would like to thank everyone who was kind enough to provide me
with assistance and suggestions during its construction. I (and everyone
else here at the CCLE) am excited to see the course made available.the
students I had the fortune to work with in the last course I designed and
ran (at UBC in Vancouver) felt that engaging in the topic of cognitive
liberty was beneficial to their education. I look forward to being able to
share my latest project with as many people as possible.
