Description
Sam Harris explores the concept of free will in the face of scientific evidence suggesting that our brain activity can be detected before we feel we have made a decision. This raises fundamental questions about the nature of our actions and the ethics of punishing people for their behaviour.
The idea of free will is deeply ingrained in our society, underpinning both religious and legal systems. However, recent findings in neuroscience challenge this notion, threatening to undermine our understanding of morality and justice.
In Free Will, Harris examines the implications of these scientific discoveries and asks whether we truly have control over our actions. This thought-provoking book delves into the complexities of free will and its relationship with our understanding of the world.
