Abstract

This monograph offers an argument concerning free will and moral responsibility which identifies hierarchical compatibilism - a view espoused by such philosophers as Neely, Watson, Levin and Dennett - as the most plausible account of free will.

Abstract

Fruit d'une session théologique organisée en novembre 1996 par l'École des sciences philosophiques et religieuses des Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, ces études sur la Providence ouvrent différentes perspectives. Face à une attitude « providentialiste » la Bible nous suggère déjà diverses approches. Une vue sécularisée de la toute-puissance de Dieu pourrait également nous entraîner dans un déterminisme absolu qui semblait sous-jacent à certaines sociologies. Dans une perspective politique, comment se frayer un chemin au delà du « providentialisme » ? Il importe pour chacun, non d'exécuter un plan préétabli, mais d'inventer la façon de devenir « Providence pour soi et pour l'autre... » À Gethsémani, l'agonie et le « oui » de Jésus nous conduisent au centre du mystère qui nous interpelle et nous ouvre à l'imprévisible.

Abstract

In this 2005 book, Tim O'Keefe reconstructs the theory of freedom of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-271/0 BCE). Epicurus' theory has attracted much interest, but our attempts to understand it have been hampered by reading it anachronistically as the discovery of the modern problem of free will and determinism. O'Keefe argues that the sort of freedom which Epicurus wanted to preserve is significantly different from the 'free will' which philosophers debate today, and that in its emphasis on rational action it has much closer affinities with Aristotle's thought than with current preoccupations. His original and provocative book will be of interest to a wide range of readers in Hellenistic philosophy.

Abstract

"What links conscious experience of pain, joy, color, and smell to bioelectrical activity in the brain? How can anything physical give rise to nonphysical, subjective, conscious states? Christof Koch has devoted much of his career to bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gap between the physics of the brain and phenomenal experience. This engaging book--part scientific overview, part memoir, part futurist speculation--describes Koch's search for an empirical explanation for consciousness. Koch recounts not only the birth of the modern science of consciousness but also the subterranean motivation for his quest--his instinctual (if 'romantic') belief that life is meaningful. Koch describes his own groundbreaking work with Francis Crick in the 1990s and 2000s and the gradual emergence of consciousness (once considered a 'fringy' subject) as a legitimate topic for scientific investigation. Present at this paradigm shift were Koch and a handful of colleagues, including Ned Block, David Chalmers, Stanislas Dehaene, Giulio Tononi, Wolf Singer, and others. Aiding and abetting it were new techniques to listen in on the activity of individual nerve cells, clinical studies, and brain-imaging technologies that allowed safe and noninvasive study of the human brain in action. Koch gives us stories from the front lines of modern research into the neurobiology of consciousness as well as his own reflections on a variety of topics, including the distinction between attention and awareness, the unconscious, how neurons respond to Homer Simpson, the physics and biology of free will, dogs, Der Ring des Nibelungen, sentient machines, the loss of his belief in a personal God, and sadness. All of them are signposts in the pursuit of his life's work--to uncover the roots of consciousness."--Jacket.

Abstract

Het verhaal van je leven is het verhaal van je brein. Dat begint in de baarmoeder, waar de hersenen gevormd worden op een manier die bepalend is voor de rest van je leven. Dick Swaab volgt in Wij zijn ons brein de mens vanaf de conceptie tot en met de dood. Wat zijn de bedreigingen voor het kind in de baarmoeder? Hoe zit het met de hersenen van pubers, wat gebeurt er als je verliefd bent, hoe zijn homo- en heteroseksualiteit te verklaren en wat gebeurt er wanneer alzheimer toeslaat? De zin en onzin van therapien, antidepressiva en alternatieve geneeswijzen, agressie, moreel gedrag en geloof, meditatie, hersenbeschadiging, psychische problemen en bijna-dood-ervaringen: alles wordt beschreven in Wij zijn ons brein. Na lezing van dit boek zul je beter begrijpen waarom je bent wie je bent. De auteur, hersenonderzoeker, publiceert regelmatig in diverse kranten en tijdschriften. In de jaren zeventig kwam hij in het nieuws door zijn destijds hevig omstreden onderzoek naar hersenverschillen tussen De seksen, en tussen homo- en heteroseksuelen. Swaab is er nog altijd van overtuigd dat de basis voor menselijk gedrag in de eerste plaats in de hersenen gelegen is, maar inmiddels is dat, dankzij geavanceerd neurobiologisch onderzoek, geen taboe meer. Dit onderzoek vormt de basis voor het beeld dat dit boek geeft van de werking van de hersenen. Er komt een breed scala aan onderwerpen aan de orde, zoals seksuele differentiatie, puberteit, veroudering, Alzheimer en geheugen, maar ook zaken als moreel gedrag, spiritualiteit en religie. Natuurlijk is er ook aandacht voor stoornissen, ziekten en therapien. Een veelomvattend boek waarin een serieus genteresseerd algemeen publiek antwoord kan vinden op veelgestelde hersenvragen, terwijl het boek, dat een uitvoerig register (maar geen literatuuropgave) bevat, ook voor professioneel genteresseerden een basis biedt om hun kennis te actualiseren en uit te breiden Inhoudsopgave : I.
