| Description | The renowned neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky challenges conventional ideas about free will, arguing that human behaviour is determined by biological and social factors. Drawing on contemporary research in fields including neuroscience, genetics, and quantum mechanics, he makes the case that our actions are profoundly shaped by genetic predispositions, upbringing, and even chance events in our lives. As a result, what we think of as genuine freedom of choice may be far more limited than we assume. Decisions that seem to reveal our character — generosity, compassion, honesty — may depend in part on hormone levels in the bloodstream, as well as on the number and types of corresponding receptors in the brain.
Sapolsky examines experiments suggesting that the human brain begins making decisions before we become consciously aware of them, thereby questioning some of the moral and legal assumptions underlying the idea of free will. Does this mean that we should abandon blame and punishment when dealing with a criminal who, in a strict deterministic sense, could not have acted otherwise? The book is intended for readers interested in enduring questions of justice, morality, responsibility, and human nature. |
