In the dialogue between Paul Ricoeur and Jean-Pierre Changeux, published as "La naturaleza y la norma" (2001), they discussed the relationship between narrative, neuroscience, and philosophy. Ricoeur argues for a semantic dualism that separates discourses on the brain and the lived body, while Changeux seeks an intersection between the two. Although a definitive connection between narrative knowledge and neuronal processes has not yet been achieved, explanatory modeling enriches our understanding of the narrative phenomenon. Ricoeur maintains that narrative is fundamental to the formation of personal identity, arguing that it is constructed through stories about oneself. However, he acknowledges that these stories are not entirely controlled by the individual but are influenced by various factors. We will briefly review the pillars of Ricoeur's narrative theory to highlight their correspondence with current research interests in the field of neuroscience. Likewise, we will explore certain works dedicated to narrative theory from the neuroscience perspective over the past decade, in order to update the state of the art and renew the dialogue between hermeneutics and "neuro-narrative". We will show that the adoption by neurobiology of the vocabulary as well as the interests of certain philosophical and literary humanisms, on the one hand, reshapes the expectations of neuroscience and, on the other hand, tends towards interdisciplinarity. Narratology and neuroscience find points of convergence in narrative cognition, which emerges from neurobiological processes and is incompatible with a static and inflexible view of the human being. The connection between the neurophysiological level and the philosophical level allows for a broader and deeper interpretation of human experience and the formation of personal identity. All in all, the dialogue between narrative, neuroscience, and philosophy reveals the complexity of human beings and their identity, emphasizing the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective to address these issues. Although there are still challenges to establishing a definitive connection between narrative knowledge and neuronal processes, links have been identified that enrich our understanding of the narrative phenomenon and the formation of personal identity. In conclusion, we will suggest that it makes no sense in this current context, more than twenty years after the dialogue between Ricoeur and Changeux, to uphold any kind of dualism. |

En el diálogo entre Paul Ricoeur y Jean-Pierre Changeux, publicado como La naturaleza y la norma (2001), se discute la relación entre la narrativa, la neurociencia y la filosofía. Ricoeur defiende un dualismo semántico que separa los discursos sobre el cerebro y el cuerpo propio, mientras que Changeux busca una intersección entre ambos. Aunque aún no se haya logrado una conexión definitiva entre el conocimiento narrativo y los procesos neuronales, la modelización explicativa enriquece nuestra comprensión del fenómeno narrativo. Ricoeur sostiene que la narrativa es fundamental para la formación de la identidad personal, argumentando que esta se construye a través de historias sobre uno mismo. Sin embargo, reconoce que estas historias no son totalmente controladas por el individuo, sino que están influenciadas por diversos factores. Haremos un breve repaso de los pilares de la teoría narrativa ricoeuriana para poner de manifiesto que se corresponden con los intereses de las investigaciones actuales en el campo de la neurociencia. Asimismo, recorreremos ciertos trabajos dedicados a la teoría narrativa desde la neurociencia de la última década para actualizar el estado de la cuestión y poder renovar el diálogo entre hermenéutica y “neuro-narrativa”. Mostraremos que la adopción por parte de la neurobiología del vocabulario, así como de los intereses de ciertos humanismos filosóficos y literarios, por un lado redimensiona las expectativas de las neurociencias y, por otro lado, tienden hacia la interdisciplinariedad. La narratología y la neurociencia encuentran puntos de encuentro en la cognición narrativa, que emerge de procesos neurobiológicos y es incompatible con una visión estática e inflexible del ser humano. La conexión entre el plano neurofisiológico y el plano filosófico permite una interpretación más amplia y profunda de la experiencia humana y la formación de la identidad personal. En resumen, el diálogo entre la narrativa, la neurociencia y la filosofía revela la complejidad del ser humano y su identidad, destacando la importancia de una perspectiva interdisciplinaria para abordar estos temas. Aunque aún existen desafíos para establecer una conexión definitiva entre el conocimiento narrativo y los procesos neuronales, se han identificado vínculos que enriquecen nuestra comprensión del fenómeno narrativo y la formación de la identidad personal. En conclusión, sugeriremos que no tiene sentido en este contexto actual, más de veinte años después del diálogo entre Ricoeur y Changeux, sostener un dualismo de ningún tipo.
