In exploring whether our neuroscientific discoveries are consistent
with the idea we are voluntary agents, "Human Agency and Neural
Causes" presents a neuroscientifically-informed emergentist account
of human agency.
In contrast with the assumptions that currently shape
neuropsychological research on voluntary agency, J.D. Runyan
presents a broadly-conceived Aristotelian account of voluntary
agency grounded in our everyday thought about our conduct. In the
process, some new concerns are raised for compatibilist theories of
free will, as well as for reductive neuroscientific theory. This
book argues that what contemporary neuroscience reveals is along
the lines of what we should expect if we are, in fact, voluntary
agents. At the same time, upholding the idea that we are voluntary
agents will require profound and controversial changes in the way
we interpret our neuroscientific findings.
