Many even assume that our view of human nature and our social order are at stake. This book shows that the academic debate is often conducted under misleading assumptions: Practical freedom should not only be explored in quixotic laboratory experiments. Therefore, in the second part of \u003cem\u003eScience and Free Will\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ethe problem is related to real decisions in our everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut first, important basic knowledge from over 2,500 years of our cultural history is conveyed. Learn how already Socrates rejected the idea that humans are only the sum of their physical parts. The book then shows how the dispute over free will in Christianity almost led to a civil war. From the 18th century onwards, scientifically influenced ideas became increasingly important. Biology, physiology and physics have an extensive say before psychology and brain research take over the topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScience and Free Will\u003c\/em\u003e explains why the endless debate over determinism is not the core of the problem. Well-known physicists such as Max Planck, Albert Einstein and Anton Zeilinger are discussed. The question is not \u003cem\u003ewhether\u003c\/em\u003e our decisions are causally determined, but rather \u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e causes play a role. What this means for the law, science and how we can still be free is discussed in detail at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-08-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662694527\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-69450-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 210\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44558703591564,"sku":"9783662694527","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662694527.jpg?v=1776437216","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662694527","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
