Man can do what he will but he cannot will what he wills. -- Schopenhauer The theme of the book is disconcerting at best: Dr. Harris if not completely refutes the notion of free will in this little book of his, does certainly raise a serious contradiction ...
评分首先哲学领域,特别是关于自由意志啊神马的玄乎玩意儿,定义和描述都不是唯一的。所以善恶还真没法了断。因为你否定了某一定义下的自由意志,又为另一定义下的自由意志提供了生长空间。 另一方面,个人受其他的某些因素影响,我认为此书更像是在给佛的因缘轮回作一个背书。无...

The physiologist Benjamin Libet famously demonstrated that activity in the brain's motor regions can be detected some 300 milliseconds before a person feels that he has decided to move. Another lab recently used fMRI data to show that some "conscious" decisions can be predicted up to 10 seconds before they enter awareness (long before the preparatory motor activity detected by Libet). Clearly, findings of this kind are difficult to reconcile with the sense that one is the conscious source of one's actions. The question of free will is no mere curio of philosophy seminars. A belief in free will underwrites both the religious notion of "sin" and our enduring commitment to retributive justice. The Supreme Court has called free will a "universal and persistent" foundation for our system of law. Any scientific developments that threatened our notion of free will would seem to put the ethics of punishing people for their bad behaviour in question.In Free Will Harris debates these ideas and asks whether or not, given what brain science is telling us, we actually have free will?
提出的是一个至关重要却被每个人都或多或少有意无意忽视的问题。正视现实到底不会是坏事:We can never overestimate ourselves too much.
评分好短,车轱辘话转来转去没什么内容。做入门看还行。
评分知道自己没有free will反而没有颓废,平静而已
