Book Description
Excerpt from The Universal Illusion of Free Will and Criminal Responsibility The consciousness that man has of his free will is the only argu ment used by the champions of free will. This is a veritable sophism. Even to-day the few scientists defending this view still have recourse to it. They say: In the name of an auto-observa tion, bereft of all apriorism, it is easy to observe that the normal man, in a state of full mental activity, has in himself the impres sion, the consciousness that he can resist or give way to solicita tions which lead to good or evil. This sense of moral liberty is a natural attribute to the human organisation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pages : 576
Book Description
In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the Stone Age to the Information Age, Robert Wright unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of archaeology, theology, and evolutionary psychology, Wright's findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and are sure to cause controversy. He explains why spirituality has a role today, and why science, contrary to conventional wisdom, affirms the validity of the religious quest. And this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not toward continued religious extremism, but future harmony. Nearly a decade in the making, The Evolution of God is a breathtaking re-examination of the past, and a visionary look forward.

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
In recent decades, with advances in the behavioral, cognitive, and neurosciences, the idea that patterns of human behavior may ultimately be due to factors beyond our conscious control has increasingly gained traction and renewed interest in the age-old problem of free will. In this book, Gregg D. Caruso examines both the traditional philosophical problems long associated with the question of free will, such as the relationship between determinism and free will, as well as recent experimental and theoretical work directly related to consciousness and human agency. He argues that our best scientific theories indeed have the consequence that factors beyond our control produce all of the actions we perform and that because of this we do not possess the kind of free will required for genuine or ultimate responsibility. It is further argued that the strong and pervasive belief in free will, which the author considers an illusion, can be accounted for through a careful analysis of our phenomenology and a proper theoretical understanding of consciousness. Indeed, the primary goal of this book is to argue that our subjective feeling of freedom, as reflected in the first-person phenomenology of agentive experience, is an illusion created by certain aspects of our consciousness.
