Description
Michael S. Gazzaniga challenges the prevailing view that our brains are the sole determinants of our behaviour, arguing instead that the mind plays a crucial role in shaping our actions.
By exploring the latest insights in neuroscience, psychology, and ethics, Gazzaniga makes a compelling case for the existence of free will. He shows how our brains are not the sole architects of our behaviour, but rather are constrained by the complex interactions between our minds and the world around us.
With his trademark wit and lack of pretension, Gazzaniga presents a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of free will and its relationship to our brains. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the latest developments in cognitive science and the human mind.
