The common thing for the work of “neurophilosophers” can be described as an interdisciplinary approach, which takes into account the achievements in the field of consciousness research of both philosophical thought and neuroscience. How this approach is implemented and what it represents depends on the particular researcher. This article focuses on Georg Northoff's neurophilosophical approach. For a long time Northoff has been developing a project of neurophilosophy, the distinguishing feature of which is its nonreductive nature: Northoff does not reduce consciousness to the brain but develops a special method that allows philosophy of consciousness and neuroscience to investigate the problems of consciousness and the brain in an integrated way. The article discusses the philosophical foundations of brain research that Nortoff provides, as well as the role of process ontology for the study of consciousness and the brain. In addition, the empirical studies of brain activity with which Northoff illustrates his philosophical claims are presented. The paper also identifies the philosophical significance of the brain-body-environment connection for the emergence of the processual self in Northoff's theory. At the same time, Northoff does not engage in a search for a solution to the consciousness-brain problem and, in particular, the hard problem of consciousness. Instead, he seeks to question and dissolve the problem while questioning its premises. Northoff argues that philosophers of consciousness refer to studies of particular areas and aspects of the brain to construct their theories, whereas to solve the problems of consciousness it is necessary to consider the brain holistically, as represented in neuroscientific research.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">При попытке дать универсальное определение термину «нейрофилософия» возникают трудности, поскольку каждый исследователь, причисляющий себя к данной области, задает определение самостоятельно. Общим для работы «нейрофилософов» можно назвать междисциплинарный подход, при котором учитываются достижения в области исследования сознания как философской мысли, так и нейронауки. То, как этот подход будет реализован и что он в целом из себя представляет, зависит от конкретного исследователя. Данное исследование посвящено нейрофилософскому подходу Георга Нортхоффа. Нортхофф продолжительное время разрабатывает проект нейрофилософии, отличительная черта которого в его нередуктивности: Нортхофф не сводит сознание к мозгу, а разрабатывает особый метод, который позволяет философии сознания и нейронауке комплексно исследовать проблемы сознания и мозга. В статье рассмотрены философские основания исследования мозга, которые приводит Нортхофф, а также роль процессной онтологии для исследования сознания и мозга. Кроме того, приводятся эмпирические исследования активности мозга, которыми Нортхофф иллюстрирует свои философские утверждения. В работе также определяется философское значение связи мозга, тела и окружающей среды для возникновения процессуального Я в теории Нортхоффа. При этом Нортхофф не занимается поиском решения проблемы сознание - мозг и, в частности, трудной проблемы сознания. Вместо этого он стремится поставить под сомнение и растворить проблему, подвергая при этом сомнению ее предпосылки. Нортхофф утверждает, что философы сознания для построения своих теорий ссылаются на исследования отдельных областей и аспектов мозга, в то время как для решения проблем сознания необходимо рассматривать мозг целостно, как это представлено в нейронаучных исследованиях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>philosophy of consciousness</kwd><kwd>neurophilosophy</kwd><kwd>neuroscience</kwd><kwd>Northoff</kwd><kwd>Whitehead</kwd><kwd>process ontology</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>философия сознания</kwd><kwd>нейрофилософия</kwd><kwd>нейронаука</kwd><kwd>Нортхофф</kwd><kwd>Уайтхед</kwd><kwd>процессная онтология</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Northoff G.
