Elbow Room, New Edition: The Varieties of Free Will Worth Wanting
Angebote / Angebote:
Daniel Dennett tackles the free will problem in a highly original and witty manner, drawing on the theories and concepts of several fields usually ignored by philosophers, not just physics and evolutionary biology, but engineering, automata theory, and artificial intelligence. In Elbow Room, Dennett shows how the classical formulations of the problem in philosophy depend on misuses of imagination, and he disentangles the philosophical problems of real interest from the "family of anxieties' they get enmeshed in - imaginary agents, bogeymen, and dire prospects that seem to threaten our freedom. Putting sociobiology in its rightful place, he concludes that we can have free will and science too.
