Christfried Jakob, a neurobiologist active from 1930 to 1949, argued that philosophy must be integrated with biology, especially neurobiology, to understand consciousness. He is considered an early figure in neurophilosophy, focusing on the neurobiogenetic, neurodynamic, and neuropsychogenetic foundations of consciousness. His ideas share common ground with thinkers such as Kant, James, Husserl, Bergson, Piaget, and Quine, and also align with aspects of cybernetics and neurophenomenology. Jakob advocated for interdisciplinary science as essential to solving the mystery of consciousness.
