Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In our scientific era, there has been widespread talk about the demise of conventional notions about our agency. In this book, Jason Runyan examines our conventional thought and talk about our agency and the basis for thinking that it is inconsistent with scientific findings. Using clear language and concrete examples, he brings philosophy and science to bear on fundamental questions: What is true about us? Do we accomplish what we think we do in everyday life? And should our scientific discoveries upend the way we think about our agency? In the process, Runyan shows how analytic and empirical approaches should inform one another how, together, they enable a more precise and expansive view, save us from the pitfalls of overreaching, and yield insights to live by. By using clear language and concrete examples, this book is an integrative work of philosophy and science which offers new insight into a topic of central importance to metaphysics, moral philosophy, and philosophy of science and action, as well as to psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroscience: our agency. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781009581783
