Abstract
The term «neurophilosophy» should be understood as a direction in the philosophy of the beginning of the XXI, applying neuroscientific concepts to solve traditional philosophical problems, while the term «philosophy of neurosciences» can be considered primarily as a section of the philosophy of science that formulates and solves problems as private neurosciences , and the entire neuroscientific direction. When analyzing scientific literature, it becomes obvious that the first term is overloaded, which is associated with the process of understanding the subject area of this discipline, which has not yet been completed. The article concludes that it is advisable to abandon the integral use of the concept of «neurophilosophy».
