Description

Explore the deep tension between human experience and scientific theory in this thought-provoking work from Springer. While most people live their lives under the assumption that they possess the power to choose their own actions, modern neuroscience often leans toward a deterministic view of the brain. This book examines that fundamental conflict. By looking at the brain through the lenses of quantum physics and neuroscience, the text investigates whether our thoughts and movements are truly our own or if they are pre-determined by genes, chemicals, and environmental factors. It addresses the gap between the daily conviction of having free will and the scientific models that suggest our neural firings are governed by physical laws established at the beginning of the universe. This volume is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of consciousness and physical science. It provides a rigorous look at how we might reconcile our sense of agency with the biological and physical realities of the human brain.

Key Features

Examines the conflict between daily human conviction and the dominance of determinism in modern neuroscience.

Investigates the relationship between consciousness and the physical processes of the brain.

Analyzes how quantum physics and neuroscience approach the concept of human agency.

Explores whether biological factors like genes and chemicals dictate our ability to make choices.
