Description
Thirty leading neuroscientists and philosophers engage in a lively discussion about free will, exploring its relationship with determinism and conscious control. This collection of bidirectional exchanges offers a concise and accessible overview of the most critical questions in the field.
The contributors draw on up-to-date research from both disciplines to shed light on the nature of intentional actions, neural mechanisms that enable conscious control, and the implications for our understanding of human choice.
Perfect for those looking to get up to speed on the neurophilosophy of free will, this book is also an engaging read for experts in philosophy or neuroscience seeking a deeper understanding of the other discipline.
