About this ebook
"The Illusion of Free Will: Philosophical and Scientific Considerations" is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of free will from both philosophical and scientific perspectives. The book is organized into 8 parts, each with at least 4 subsections, covering topics such as the historical debate on free will, the role of neuroscience and genetics in shaping behavior, the illusion of conscious will, the evolutionary origins of free will, moral responsibility, personal identity, consciousness, and the practical implications of the illusion of free will for society.
The book challenges the commonly held belief that individuals possess free will and the ability to make conscious decisions. Instead, it argues that our sense of control over our decisions is an illusion, shaped by cognitive biases and environmental factors. The authors explore different theories on determinism and indeterminism, as well as compatibilism and incompatibilism, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concept of free will.
In addition to its philosophical inquiry, the book also examines the scientific basis of free will, including the role of genetics, neuroscience, and environmental factors in shaping behavior. It also explores the implications of the illusion of free will for personal identity and moral responsibility.
Overall, "The Illusion of Free Will" is a thought-provoking and informative book that challenges our assumptions about the nature of free will and its impact on human behavior and society.
