Description
The Volitional Brain Towards a Neuroscience of Free Will by Benjamin Libet, Anthony Freeman, and Keith Sutherland The relationship between our choices and the physical world is a complex one. While science suggests that everything can be explained by physical causation, we experience ourselves as having the freedom to choose between alternatives presented to us. This paradox is explored in this book by a distinguished group of scientists and philosophers. The authors examine the nature of volition and its relationship to neuroscience, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying our decision-making processes. Their work challenges traditional views of free will and determinism, offering a nuanced understanding of the human experience. Through their research, Libet, Freeman, and Sutherland aim to provide new insights into the workings of the human mind, revealing the intricate interplay between brain function and conscious choice.
