This volume showcases cutting-edge scholarship from The Big
Questions in Free Will project, funded by a grant from the John
Templeton Foundation and directed by Alfred R. Mele. It explores
the subject of free will from the perspectives of neuroscience;
social, cognitive, and developmental psychology; and philosophy
(both traditional and experimental).
The volume consists of fourteen new articles and an introduction
from top-ranked contributors, all of whom bring fresh perspectives
to the question of free will. They investigate questions such as:
How do children conceive of free will and how does their concept of
free will develop? How does lowered or raised confidence in the
existence of free will affect our behavior? What modifies our power
to resist temptation? What do lay folk mean by free will? What
brain processes underlie decisions? How does the conscious
experience of voluntary action contribute to the neural control of
behavior? What are the neural differences between deliberate
choosing and arbitrary picking? How do neuroscientific studies of
decision making in monkeys bear on human free will? Is determinism
compatible with free will? What can a proper understanding of
causation tell us about free will? What is moral responsibility?
Readers interested in the current and future direction of
scholarship on free will find this volume essential reading.
