> Phil. of mind and neuroscience has different subject of study, in most cases

You may find the work of Patricia Churchland an interesting exception.




Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Harris#Neuroscience

of course, if you encounter philosophers/scholars/believers who argue about whether the mind can be physical, it's a lost cause..


I don't think philosophers would see Harris as their peer. It may also be questionable whether he was a neuroscientist at all (https://shadowtolight.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/neuroscientis...)


Can you explain what you mean by Harris not being accepted?


That was the nicer way of putting it, he is generally made fun of(or maybe that's my bubble, can't be sure) for oversimplifying philosophical subject matters...
