Neurophilosophy in system neuroscience

The article reveals the understanding of neurophilosophy as the philosophy and methodology of neuroscience. The article highlights the ontological, epistemological and methodological problems of modern neuroscience. The term «neurophilosophy» emerged relatively long time, but still understood in different ways. The paper argues that the main tasks of neurophilosophy are as follows: 1) the problem of classification of numerous neuroscience, 2) problem solution the relationship of neural networks and of human consciousness (thinking, knowledge), 3) the task of developing an effective methodology of neuroscience. The article suggests that modern materialistic solution to the problems of neuroscience inhibit the development of neuroscience. The article shows that understanding of the model neuron and neural nets as formalism, is more promising for obtaining new results in applied neuroscience. Historically, this approach is consistent with methodological program of Platon.
