In this paper we intend to analyse the topic of the “Neuroscience of the race” and the relationship between “nature” and “culture” in this respect. After analyzing an important paper on the topic by Jennifer T. Kubota, Mahazarin R. Banaji and Elizabeth Phelps, the key issue is here identified as the mechanism that produces the relationship between nature and culture in late modernity. The path that will be followed is divided into three stages: first, we will analyze the relationship between the "Neuroscience" and the so‐called "human nature"; second, we will approach the relationship between "Neuroscience" and "medical device" by analyzing the theoretical, practical and political roles of the medical concept of "prevention"; finally, will touch upon the “centrifugal” aspect of human being that emerges from such studies.

Abstract

In this paper we intend to analyse the topic of the “Neuroscience of the race” and the relationship between “nature” and “culture” in this respect. After analyzing an important paper on the topic by Jennifer T. Kubota, Mahazarin R. Banaji and Elizabeth Phelps, the key issue is here identified as the mechanism that produces the relationship between nature and culture in late modernity. The path that will be followed is divided into three stages: first, we will analyze the relationship between the "Neuroscience" and the so‐called "human nature"; second, we will approach the relationship between "Neuroscience" and "medical device" by analyzing the theoretical, practical and political roles of the medical concept of "prevention"; finally, will touch upon the “centrifugal” aspect of human being that emerges from such studies.
