"Neuroscientists routinely investigate such classical philosophical topics as consciousness, thought, language, meaning, aesthetics, and death. According to Henrik Walter, philosophers should in turn embrace the wealth of research findings and ideas provided by neuroscience. In this book Walter applies the methodology of neurophilosophy to one of philosophy's central challenges, the notion of free will. Neurophilosophical conclusions are based on, and consistent with, scientific knowledge about the brain and its functioning."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: After turning briefly to Kant, I introduce a concept of free will that addresses three essential constituents of philosophical and commonplace discourse on the subject: These are alternativism, intelligibility, and origination (section 1).
