Abstract:
RESUMENLa figura del británico Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) ocupa un lugar privilegiado en la historia de la neurofisiología. Su principal contribución estriba en su descubrimiento de la «función integradora del sistema nervioso», en cuyo desarrollo se compendian sus importantes aportaciones al estudio de la diferenciación entre acciones inhibidoras y acciones excitadoras. Menos conocida resulta, sin embargo, su intensa pasión por la filosofía, por la historia (consagró una biografía al médico francés del siglo XVI Jean Fernel) y por la literatura (en especial, por la poesía de Goethe; él mismo compuso numerosos versos, publicados en obras como The Assaying of Brabantius and other Verse, de 1925). Sus amplias inquietudes filosóficas se plasmaron en el libro Man on His Nature, cristalización de las Gifford Lectures que impartió en la Universidad de Edimburgo entre mayo de 1937 y junio de 1938. Su profundidad conceptual y sus implicaciones para el debate contemporáneo en torno al problema mente-cerebro son insoslayables. En este trabajo nos detendremos, precisamente, en el análisis de la propuesta filosófica de Sherrington sobre la naturaleza de la mente humana.PALABRAS CLAVESHERRINGTON, PROBLEMA MENTE-CEREBRO, CONCIENCIA, DUALISMO, PAMPSIQUISMOABSTRACTSir Charles Sherrington (1857-1952) has played a privileged role in the history of Neurophysiology. His main contribution is based on his discovery of the «integrative function of the nervous system», the development of which synthesizes some of his important experimental results concerning the study of inhibitory and excitatory actions. However, it is less known that Sherrington cultivated a deep passion for philosophy, history (he wrote a biography of the 16th century French physician Jean Fernel), and literature (especially, Goethe’s poetry; Sherrington himself composed numerous verses, published in works like The Assaying of Brabantius and other Verse, de 1925). His broad philosophical interests were condensed in Man on His Nature, which contains his Gifford Lectures, given at the University of Edinburgh between May 1947 and June 1938. Its conceptual scope and its implications for the contemporary debate on the mind-body problem are analyzed in this paper, which aims to examine Sherrington’s ideas about the nature of the human mind.KEY WORDSSHERRINGTON, MIND-BODY PROBLEM, CONSCIOUSNESS, DUALISM, PAMSYCHISM

Abstract:
L'objectif du travail a été de comprendre comment et pourquoi les sciences du système nerveux ont abandonné très progressivement le concept de fibre nerveuse pour celui de neurone. L'enquête a débuté par l'émergence de la théorie du neurone. Nous avons voulu comprendre et comparer les modes de constitution du neurone par l'anatomie et la physiologie. C'est avec l'essor de l'oscillographie que se pose la question de l'objet central de la physiologie nerveuse et d'une neuro-physiologie qui apparaît progressivement. La neurophysiologie se développe alors selon deux directions : l'étude du neurone considéré comme un objet isolé et l'étude des centres nerveux. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un ensemble de nouvelles techniques permet l'invention de nouveaux modes d'objectivation du neurone. Les cadres théoriques favorisent les convergences des recherches, ce qui aboutit à la constitution d'un objet biologique. A partir des années 1960, se développent certaines approches fonctionnelles du système nerveux s'intéressant aussi bien à l'étude des fonctionnements locaux des circuits qu'aux fonctions du système nerveux et à l'étude de leurs bases neurales. A la fin du XXe siècle, le neurone apparaît comme un objet dont l'objectivation réunit tous les moyens possibles de la biologie. Il est devenu l'objet central de l'approche multidisciplinaire des Neurosciences actuelle et à venir
This work aims to understand how and why the sciences devoted to the nervous System progressively abandoned the concept of the fiber for that of the neuron. The story begins with the emergence of the Neuron Doctrine. We wished to understand and compare the modes of constitution of the neuron in the fields of anatomy and physiology. With the rise of oscillography, a new question arises concerning the central object of nervous physiology and neuro-physiology. Neurophysiology develops along two directions: the study of the isolated neuron and the study of nervous centers. After Second World War, new techniques allow new modes of constitution of the neuron. Theoretical frameworks help research paths to converge and elaborate the neuron as a biological object. From the 1960s, Functional analyses of the nervous System focus on the local functioning of networks and on nervous functions and their neural correlates. At the end of the century, the neuron appears as an object constituted with all means of biology. It has become the central object of a new multidisciplinary science, namely the present and future Neurosciences
