In this course

Catherine Malabou is a philosopher working on neuroplasticity and the political implications of how brains are shaped by experience and intervention. She appears in the readings as a key theorist (via "What Should We Do with Our Brain?") who asks critical questions about brain malleability in the context of neuroscience and governance, joining thinkers like LeDoux who anatomize the relationship between neural structure and selfhood. Her work seems to anchor the course's concern with how AI and cybernetics remake human cognition not just technically but philosophically—treating plasticity as a problem of freedom and social control rather than mere mechanism.
