Who's in Charge?: Free Will and the Science of the Brain by Michael Gazzaniga (E

Description: Who's in Charge? by Michael Gazzaniga Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A leading neuroscientist makes an incendiary argument defending free-will and responsibility, against the prevailing deterministic view of how our brains control our behaviour. Publisher Description The prevailing orthodoxy in brain science is that since physical laws govern our physical brains, physical laws therefore govern our behaviour and even our conscious selves. Free will is meaningless, goes the mantra; we live in a determined world.Not so, argues the renowned neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga as he explains how the mind, constrains the brain just as cars are constrained by the traffic they create. Writing with what Steven Pinker has called his trademark wit and lack of pretension, Gazzaniga ranges across neuroscience, psychology and ethics to show how incorrect it is to blame our brains for our behaviour. Even given the latest insights into the physical mechanisms of the mind, he explains, we are responsible agents who should be held accountable for our actions, because responsibility is found in how people interact, not in brains.An extraordinary book, combining a light touch with profound implications, WHOS IN CHARGE? is a lasting contribution from one of the leading thinkers of our time. Author Biography Michael Gazzaniga, one of the worlds leading neuroscientists, is a Professor of Psychology and Director for the SAGE Center for the Study of Mind at UC Santa Barbara. He is also the Director of the Summer Institute in Cognitive Neuroscience, President of the Cognitive Neuroscience Institute, and is a member of the Presidents Council on Bioethics.
