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.

Review
"This book is an unsurpassed paragon of open-mindedness, the proof of which is that it includes as its closing essay a trenchant review of itself."
Author: Daniel C. Dennett"The collection is wide-ranging in its scope... and reports some fascinating empirical work on the brain activity that appears to underlie volitional behaviour."
Author: A.C. Grayling Source: Times Literary Supplement"A timely compilation of essays on the brain processes that organize voluntary action."
Author: Karl Pribram Source: Contemporary PsychologySynopsis
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.
