Freedom Evolves di Daniel C. Dennett affronta la questione più importante dell'esistenza umana: esiste davvero il libero arbitrio? Come possono gli esseri umani fare scelte veramente indipendenti se siamo solo un ammasso di cellule e geni in un mondo determinato da leggi scientifiche? Qui, Daniel Dennett fornisce un'appassionata difesa del libero arbitrio. Ma piuttosto che la libertà come condizione eterna e immutabile della nostra esistenza, in realtà, rivela, si è evoluta: proprio come la vita sul pianeta e l'aria che respiriamo. L'evoluzione è la chiave per risolvere questa delle più grandi questioni filosofiche e per comprendere il nostro posto nel mondo come agenti unicamente liberi. Dennett dimostra che, lungi dall'essere un'incompatibilità tra la scienza contemporanea e la visione tradizionale di libertà e moralità, è solo di recente che la scienza è avanzata al punto in cui possiamo vedere come siamo arrivati ad avere il nostro tipo unico di libertà. ''Un libro serio con un messaggio brillante'' Matt Ridley, autore di The Red Queen ''Potente e ingegnoso. L'argomento definitivo che la mente umana è un prodotto dell'evoluzione'' John Gray, Independent ''Un libro di brio frizzante e di un brio apparentemente spontaneo. Dennett al suo meglio è il migliore che si possa trovare'' Spectator Daniel C. Dennett è uno dei pensatori più originali e provocatori al mondo. Brillante polemista e filosofo, è famoso per aver sfidato ortodossie inesaminate e un sostenitore schietto del movimento Brights. I suoi libri includono Brainstorms, Brainchildren, Elbow Room, Breaking the Spell, Darwin's Dangerous Idea e Freedom Evolves.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dennett is probably the world's most widely read and influential philosopherDennett shows that human freedom is not an illusion; it is an objective phenomenon, distinct from all other biological conditions and found in only one species - us. There was a time on this planet when it didn't exist, quite recently in fact. It had to evolve like every other feature of the biosphere, and it continues to evolve today.Dennett shows that far from there being an incompatibility between contemporary science and the traditional vision of freedom and morality, it is only recently that science has advanced to the point where we can see how we came to have our unique kind of freedom. Is there really such a thing as free will? How can humans make genuinely independent choices if we are just a cluster of cells and genes in a world determined by scientific laws? In this title, the author provides a defense of free will. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780140283891

Paperback. Condizione: New. Daniel C. Dennett's Freedom Evolves tackles the most important question of human existence - is there really such a thing as free will? How can humans make genuinely independent choices if we are just a cluster of cells and genes in a world determined by scientific laws? Here, Daniel Dennett provides an impassioned defense of free will. But rather than freedom being an eternal, unchanging condition of our existence, in reality, he reveals, it has evolved: just like life on the planet and the air we breathe. Evolution is the key to resolving this greatest of philosophical questions - and to understanding our place in the world as uniquely free agents. Dennett shows that far from there being an incompatibility between contemporary science and the traditional vision of freedom and morality, it is only recently that science has advanced to the point where we can see how we came to have our unique kind of freedom. 'A serious book with a brilliant message' Matt Ridley, author of The Red Queen 'Powerful and ingenious . The definitive argument that the human mind is a product of evolution' John Gray, Independent 'A book of sparkling brio and seemingly effortless panache . Dennett at his best is as good as it gets' Spectator Daniel C. Dennett is one of the most original and provocative thinkers in the world. A brilliant polemicist and philosopher, he is famous for challenging unexamined orthodoxies, and an outspoken supporter of the Brights movement. His books include Brainstorms, Brainchildren, Elbow Room, Breaking the Spell, Darwin's Dangerous Idea and Freedom Evolves. Codice articolo LU-9780140283891
