Christian A. Carrozzo, 2012

Christian Carrozzo is founder of the Program for Neuroethics and Clinical Consciousness at the John J. Lynch, M.D., Center for Ethics, where he serves as senior scholar and resident faculty. The program serves as a special research unit, devoted to the intersections of philosophy, neuroscience, empirical psychology, and clinical neurology. Its mission is to contribute to relevant policy and practice, improve evaluations of decision-making capacity in disorders of consciousness, provide specialized analyses of clinical cases involving neurointensive care, and to generate relevant interdisciplinary work in the form of peer-reviewed scholarship, conference presentations, and educational program development. 

Christian is an advanced Ph.D. student with the Department of Philosophy at the University at Albany, State University of New York; a Lecturer in Philosophy at the George Washington University Department of Philosophy; and a Lecturer at the Department of Philosophy and Religion at American University. He serves as co-chair of the Neuroethics Affinity Group for the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, and is Senior Editor to the Journal of Hospital Ethics. His current research involves a revisionary conception of the proper purview of the philosophy of neuroscience and the limits of logic and metaphysics in theories of consciousness.
