This opinionated guide to free will offers a clear and
straightfoward introduction to a vexing topic, from an
internationally recognized authority on free will. What did you do
a moment ago? What will you do after you read this? Are you
deciding as we speak, or is something else going on in your brain
or elsewhere in your body that is determining your actions?
Stopping to think this way can freeze us in our tracks. A lot in
the world feels far beyond our control-the last thing we need is to
question whether we make our own choices in the way we usually
assume we do. Questions about free will are so major and
consequential that we may prefer not to think about them at all,
lest we feel completely lost and unsure of everything we thought we
knew! Free will is certainly important, but it does not need to be
daunting. Free Will: An Opinionated Guide offers a clear and
straightforward introduction to this vexing topic. Drawing on
decades of extensive research in philosophy, neuroscience, and
psychology, internationally recognized authority on free will
Alfred R. Mele explains and explores the most prominent theories,
puzzles, and arguments about free will, all the while presenting
his own distinctive take on the topic. Mele's use of
attention-grabbing thought experiments brings deep philosophical
issues to life. He tackles the questions already on readers' minds
and some they will encounter for the first time, on topics like
determinism, neuroscience, and control. Whether this is the only
book on free will you will read, or just the beginning of a deeper
investigation, you will never think about free will, or the
decisions you believe you're making, in the same ways again.
