Do we have free will? It's a question that has puzzled philosophers and theologians for centuries and feeds into numerous political social and personal concerns. Are we products of our culture or free agents within it? How much responsibility should we take for our actions? Are our neural pathways fixed early on by a mixture of nature and nurture or is the possibility of comprehensive intentional psychological change always open to us? What role does our brain play in the construction of free will and how much scientific evidence is there for the existence of it? What exactly are we talking about when we talk about 'freedom' anyway? In this cogent and compelling book Julian Baggini explores the concept of free will from every angle blending philosophy neuroscience sociology and cognitive science. Freedom Regained brings the issues raised by the possibilities - and denials - of free will to vivid life drawing on scientific research and fascinating encounters with expert witnesses from artists to addicts prisoners to dissidents. Contemporary thinking tells us that free will is an illusion and Baggini challenges this position providing instead a new more positive understanding of our sense of personal freedom: a freedom worth having.
