Peter Michael Stephan Hacker (15 julho 1939) é um filósofo britânico. Seu foco é na filosofia da mente e filosofia da linguagem. Ele é conhecido por sua detalhada exegese do trabalho de Ludwig Wittgenstein e sua crítica conceitual da neurociência cognitiva.[1] Para Hacker a filosofia não é uma contribuição para o conhecimento humano, mas para o entendimento humano".[2] Isso o levou a discordar diretamente dos "neuro-filósofos": neurocientistas ou filósofos como Antonio Damasio e Daniel Dennett, que pensam que a neurociência pode lançar luz sobre questões filosóficas como a natureza da consciência ou o problema mente-corpo.

Hacker sustenta que todos os problemas filosóficos, não são problemas reais, mas sim miragens decorrentes da confusão conceitual. Segue-se que a investigação científica (aprender mais fatos sobre os seres humanos ou o mundo) não ajuda a resolvê-los. Seu livro de 2003, Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience, escrito em co-autoria com o neurocientista Max Bennett, contém uma exposição dessas visões e críticas às ideias de muitos neurocientistas e filósofos contemporâneos.[3]
