原来读了李淼老师的叙,以为这本书很值得一读。结果发现最值得读的是这篇叙和附录。 作者通篇立论是:以科学的还原的方法论看,任何事情都有原因,我们任何决定和行动都是由于我们的生理状况(譬如大脑长了瘤子影响正常的功能),我们过去的创伤(譬如幼年受到暴力)和现在各类条...
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?
全书基本一句话。why , why it comes to this? not that? is it truly free?
评分好短,车轱辘话转来转去没什么内容。做入门看还行。
评分很短,有点坑爹地。不过内容扎实
评分Our thoughts and decisions are determined by subconscious mental processes we don't control. This means simply that the concept of “free will” is a farce. We may feel like we're in control, but we actually aren't. Because of this, we need to adapt our society so we can live together and help each other in the most effective way possible.
评分这本主要是从神经科学角度解释the illusion of free will的。。。
