contents The ontogeny of cognitive neuroscience has emerged within the hegemony of substance ontology. Persistent physicalist influences are described through three developmental hallmarks that yielded epistemic attractors - promoters and perpetuators of material-discursive practices oriented toward reification and self-vindication across the interdisciplinary spectrum which, as a whole, has been driven away from its pretensions to scientific realism. In virtue of a desire for a radical return thereto, we adopt a metaphysic stance akin to pragmatism, and briefly make the case that such concerns have sociopolitical implications extending far beyond the realm of mere philosophical interest.
