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.Cf. Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience (Blackwell, 2003); Neuroscience and Philosophy (Columbia University Press, 2007) Para Hacker a filosofia não é uma contribuição para o conhecimento humano, mas para o entendimento humano".citado em "An Orrery of Intentionality" 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.Feser, Edward, The Last Superstition, St. Augustine Press 2008, p. 234
