Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the human mind and body, exploring the long-debated question of free will versus determinism. The author examines the nature of human action, questioning whether our choices are truly free or merely the result of predetermined physical and mental processes. Drawing on the work of philosophers and scientists from Aristotle to John Stuart Mill, the author presents a detailed examination of the arguments surrounding automatism, the theory that all human behavior, even the seemingly most voluntary actions, can be explained by physical and mental mechanisms. The book explores the influence of the body on the mind, considering the impact of physical conditions, such as nutrition, oxygen supply, and intoxication, on mental states. It also examines the workings of the brain, exploring the concept of unconscious cerebration and its implications for human action. The author ultimately argues that human beings possess a volitional power, a capacity for self-determination that allows us to choose and act, even in the face of powerful physical and mental influences. By examining the nature of choice, duty, and moral responsibility, the book offers a compelling defense of human agency, challenging the deterministic view that we are simply machines governed by our biology. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, challenging long-held beliefs and providing insights into the nature of free will and our capacity for moral action.
