Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book consists of dialogues concerning the nature of the human will, as well as some discussion of concepts pertaining to a Divine Will. The problems and questions dealt with in this book surround the contrasts between a physicalist approach to the nature of the will versus a mental, metaphysical, and spiritual approach. The debates on these issues are intense and oftentimes passionate. Throughout the book, the imaginary interlocutor, Dennis, passionately defends attempts to reduce the human will to mere brain activity, and he argues that what seems to us like a personal will is no more than the our strongest drives and desires directing our behaviors. The opposing interlocutor, Paul, argues vehemently against this reductionist outlook, and he claims that the commonsense concept of a personal will that possesses some freedom to make genuine choices is precisely the crux of this mystery that we naturally are inclined to think of as our will, as well as our sense of feeling responsible for our choices. Early in the book, a little space is devoted to work done by Benjamin Libet concerning experiments that sought to determine when, where, and how choices really are made. The experiments cast some real doubts on our capacity to will and to initiate actions, but Libet concluded that free will can still exist, given the powers of the individual to veto desires and impulses, once those impulses have welled up into consciousness. Paul and Dennis spend much time debating deep philosophical issues surrounding the nature of consciousness, whether or not it makes sense to reduce consciousness (mind) to mere brain activity, and whether or not science will ever be able to decipher the nature of this wondrous phenomenon well call our consciousness or our mind. This book results from the author's intense concerns over the nature of human consciousness, the nature of the will, whether or not the will possesses some powers to make free choices, as well as how it is that a human will can be trained, groomed, and developed into a more powerful and effective will. Although the book is highly philosophical, one of the interlocutors, taking a spiritual approach, is powerfully persuaded that free will, responsibility, and a capacity to improve character are all genuine realities for human beings. His opponent, however, seeks valiantly to repudiate such a spiritual and metaphysical worldview, arguing that it is merely the strongest passions in our consciousness that result in driving our "choices", with no vestige of genuine freedom ever being available to us. Toward the end of the book, Paul makes quite a lot of discussion over his conviction that a Divine Will is the power that gives rise to and undergirds our universe with all life in it. Paul argues that the Divine possesses infinite powers of free choice, but is eternally committed to making only the best choices possible. Dennis, of course, ridicules these efforts, and he argues that science fails to offer any support for any such worldview. This book might well appeal to a fairly diverse readership, ranging from skeptical scientists, materialists, and those who repudiate free will, all the way to the opposite end of the spectrum where devout theists can enjoy and benefit from reading about how the human will can be trained and groomed into stronger and better character. By Paul's worldview, the will is the "engine and the steering wheel" for the soul -- such that the will is the arbiter of conduct and character development. This outlook, then leads to the conviction that our will is the essence of our character. This book might well be unique in its in-depth philosophical and scientific analysis of what constitutes that which we commonly refer to as our "will". We all think that we can will to take specified actions, but the philosophers would oftentimes ridicule this "na Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book comprises the fruits of much deep thinking for decades on the issues discussed. The book is very largely a summation of the author's philosophical reading, probing, analyzing, and creative thinking involved in critiquing much philosophical literature, and deeply contemplating the implications of all that reading and analyzing.This philosophical work touches on a great variety of philosophical questions; however, the most diligent and persistent analyses revolve around questions concerning the nature of language (where reference and meaning reside), the nature of human (and animal) consciousness, and how it is that we human beings can know anything at all.Studiosus and Scepticus are the two interlocutors (debaters) in this very lively discussion.Throughout the book, they take aim at each other's worldview, and they passionately debate the pros and cons of each issue under the fires of critical analysis.The debates sometimes get into great technical detail, but they never get dull, dry or pedantic. The intellectual passions of each debater see to it that the dialogue never gets unduly bogged down in tedious details and analyses. When Scepticus and Studiosus debate, it never gets dull for very long. However, they do come head-on concerning some very difficult and deep philosophical probing and analysis. Therefore, the reader should be prepared to do some critical thinking, even if this thinking can be kept colorful and exciting.
