内容説明

It is widely accepted in science that the universe is a closed deterministic system in which everything can, ultimately, be explained by purely physical causation. And yet we all experience ourselves as having the freedom to choose between alternatives presented to us - 'we' are in the driving seat. The puzzling status of volition is explored in this issue by a distinguished body of scientists and philosophers.

内容説明

Am I responsible for my actions? or is freewill an illusion? Many scientists and philosophers claim that everything, including our own actions, is pre-determined. If that is the case then no-one is responsible for their actions, so punishment could be considered an inappropriate response to crime. This text debates the viewpoints of both "sceptics" and "libertarians" looking at the evidence from science, psychology and philosophy. Contributors include: David Hodgson, Jaron Lanier, Thomas Clark and Wolfgang Schultz.
