Synopsis
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."

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 298 pp. The much-debated 'hard problems' in the emerging field of consciousness studies revolve around the difficulty in reconciling our first-person 'folk psychology' account of ourselves with our scientific understanding of the world. Despite the occasional dissident voice (for instance Anthony Freeman), most people are agreed that we all 'know' that we have some degree of volitional control over the sort of experiences that we undergo. But when we try to reconcile this with our physics-based & biology-based understanding of the world, we run into a number of serious well-documented problems. Seller Inventory # 16003
