The central theme of this impressively argued study is that the
mental and physical are identical. Drawing heavily on recent
scientific research into the mind-brain relationship, Dr Wilson
argues that human mentality, rationality and purposefulness are
phenomena which come within the compass of scientifically based
explanation. The consequences of this thesis are enormous both in
relation to the controversies about reasons and causes as
explanations of human behaviour, and, more important, to the
problems of free will, moral responsibility, penal philosophy,
ethics and the law. The book argues that free will is a
misconceived idea and that our notions of moral responsibility need
radical revision. The book is of considerable relevance not only to
academic philosophy but also to scientists and jurisprudents
interested in the implications of this study. Originally published
in 1979.
