Naturalisation of mind and neurosciences seem to propose a new an-thropology, since man is identified more and more to an automaton and thought in continuation with the animal. In this article we highlight some of the defining characteristics of this research programme and we pro-pose some theoretical reflections on it, concluding that materialistic monism not only ends up being self-refuting, by presenting itself as a conception – thus as a system of ideas – of reality and of man, but also, by bracketing the principle of consciousness, it abstracts also from the principle of responsibility, with potential ill-fated consequences at the anthropological level.
