Download or read book Free Will written by Sam Harris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The End of Faith, a thought-provoking, "brilliant and witty" (Oliver Sacks) look at the notion of free will—and the implications that it is an illusion. A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion. In this enlightening book, Sam Harris argues that this truth about the human mind does not undermine morality or diminish the importance of social and political freedom, but it can and should change the way we think about some of the most important questions in life.

Book Do We Have Free Will

Download or read book Do We Have Free Will written by Robert H Kane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this little but profound volume, Robert Kane and Carolina Sartorio debate a perennial question: Do We Have Free Will? Kane introduces and defends libertarianism about free will: free will is incompatible with determinism; we are free; we are not determined. Sartorio introduces and defends compatibilism about free will: free will is compatible with determinism; we can be free even while our actions are determined through and through. Simplifying tricky terminology and complicated concepts for readers new to the debate, the authors also cover the latest developments on a controversial topic that gets us entangled in questions about blameworthiness and responsibility, coercion and control, and much more. Each author first presents their own side, and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments, section summaries, bolded key terms and principles, a glossary, and annotated reading lists. Short, lively and accessible, the debate showcases diverse and cutting-edge work on free will. As per Saul Smilansky’s foreword, Kane and Sartorio, "present the readers with two things at once: an introduction to the traditional free will problem; and a demonstration of what a great yet very much alive and relevant philosophical problem is like." Key Features: Covers major concepts, views and arguments about free will in an engaging format Accessible style and pedagogical features for students and general readers Cutting-edge contributions by preeminent scholars on free will.

Book excerpt: "Questions for Humans: The Paradox of Free Will, Philosophical Perspectives on Fate, Choice, and Consequence" is a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating exploration of one of the most enduring and perplexing philosophical questions of all time: do we have free will, or are our lives predetermined by fate? This book delves deep into the heart of this age-old debate, examining the complex interplay between choice, consequence, and the human experience.

Along the way, readers will encounter a wide range of fascinating topics and ideas, including: The nature of causality and determinism The relationship between free will and moral responsibility The implications of neuroscience and psychology for our understanding of agency and choice The role of chance, randomness, and uncertainty in shaping our lives The existential significance of free will for our sense of meaning, purpose, and identity Through a careful and nuanced examination of these key themes and questions, "Questions for Humans" invites readers to grapple with the profound implications of the free will debate for our understanding of ourselves, our place in the world, and the fabric of reality itself. But this book is more than just an academic exploration of abstract philosophical concepts. It is also a deeply personal and introspective journey that challenges readers to confront their own beliefs, assumptions, and experiences surrounding free will and determinism. With its engaging and accessible writing style, thought-provoking examples, and practical exercises and reflections, "Questions for Humans" is a book that not only informs and educates but also transforms and inspires. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher, a curious layperson, or simply someone who has ever wondered about the nature of choice and consequence, this book offers a timely and essential guide to one of the most important and enduring questions of human existence. Some of the key benefits and takeaways that readers can expect from this book include: A deeper understanding of the historical and conceptual foundations of the free will debate A clearer sense of the major arguments and positions on both sides of the issue A more nuanced and sophisticated appreciation for the complexity and significance of the question of free will Practical insights and tools for navigating the challenges and opportunities of living in a world where the nature of choice and agency is uncertain A renewed sense of wonder, curiosity, and humility in the face of the grand mysteries of human existence Ultimately, "Questions for Humans: The Paradox of Free Will, Philosophical Perspectives on Fate, Choice, and Consequence" is more than just a book about philosophy; it is a book about what it means to be human. By grappling with the profound implications of free will and determinism, readers will come away with a deeper appreciation for the richness, complexity, and sheer mystery of the human experience.

Book Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays

Download or read book Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays written by P.F. Strawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world's most distinguished philosophers. First published thirty years ago but long since unavailable, Freedom and Resentment collects some of Strawson's most important work and is an ideal introduction to his thinking on such topics as the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics. Beginning with the title essay Freedom and Resentment, this invaluable collection is testament to the astonishing range of Strawson's thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics. The book is perhaps best-known for its three interrelated chapters on perception and the imagination, subjects now at the very forefront of philosophical research. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Paul Snowdon and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson.
