Philosophers are products of their time. Their standpoints, themes and perspectives are a result of a historical time, a knowledge and a prevailing paradigm throughout their epoch. Zubiri is a good example of a philosopher who wants to be in touch with the science and knowledge of his time, but is an author from the XX century. Contemporary bioethics includes a profusion of themes that undoubtedly would have fascinated Zubiri, in as far as they relate to a reflection on the human condition itself. Specifically, the development of neurosciences is challenging to thought, and is producing a correlative development of so-called neuroethics. From this new scenario, this paper deals with those ideas that Zubiri would have discussed in the context of contemporary neuroethics.
