Wie frei sind wir? Ist der freie Wille eine Illusion? Mit dem Disput zwischen Philosophie und empirischen Wissenschaften um unsere Freiheit greift dieser Band eine Debatte auf, die in jungster Zeit nicht nur akademisch mit Vehemenz gefuhrt wurde, sondern auch auf breite oeffentliche Resonanz gestossen ist. Der Autor kritisiert den empirischen Angriff auf unseren freien Willen, stellt aber zugleich die abstrakte philosophische Freiheitsdebatte auf eine solide empirische Basis und deckt so nicht nur die Grenzen, sondern auch die Perspektiven einer empirischen Annaherung an die philosophische Frage Wie frei sind wir? auf.
Physicalism - the thesis that everything there is in the world, including our minds is constituted by basic physical entities - has dominated the philosophy of mind during the last few decades. But, although the conceptual foundations of the physicalist agenda - including a proper explication of notions, such as 'causation', 'determination', 'realization' or even 'physicalism' itself - must be settled before more specific problems (e.g. the problems of mental causation and human agency) can be satisfactorily addressed, a comprehensive philosophical reflection on the relationships between the various key concepts of the debate on physicalism is yet missing. This book presents a range of essays on the conceptual foundations of physicalism, mental causation and human agency.
The study of the mind has always been one of the main

research in recent decades, with remarkable advances in psychology
and neuroscience. Oxford University Press now presents the most
authoritative and comprehensive guide ever published to the
philosophy of mind.
What is the nature of consciousness? How is consciousness related
to brain processes? This volume collects thirteen new papers on
these topics: twelve by leading and respected philosophers and one
by a leading color-vision scientist. All focus on consciousness in
the "phenomenal" sense: on what it's like to have an experience.
