内容説明
This book examines the questions of how intentions and other mental events are related to neural events, how both come about and how they result in actions. The author considers how the answers, which make up a theory of determinism, relate to neuroscience and quantum theory, and presents a view of determinism and near-determinism for, among other things, our life-hopes.
