In an age when the next generation have worse prospects than those
of their parents, this book appraises the challenges young people
face resulting from the instability of their lives. Based on youth
experience of education, employment and political participation in
England and Germany, the book examines the impact of digitalisation
in the context of rising inequality, accelerating technological
transformation, fragile European institutions, growing nationalism
and mental and economic stress arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The insights gained point to young peoples' agency as central to
acquiring the skills and resources needed to shape their future in
the digital society.

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.
