{"product_id":"freedom-raymond-tallis-9781788213783","title":"Freedom: An Impossible Reality","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe question of free will has preoccupied philosophers for millennia. In recent years the debate has been reinvigorated by the findings of neuroscience and, for some, the notion that we have free will has finally been laid to rest. Not so, says Raymond Tallis. In his quest to reconcile our practical belief in our own agency with our theoretical doubts, Tallis advances powerful arguments for the reality of freedom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTallis challenges the idea that we are imprisoned by laws of nature that wire us into a causally closed world. He shows that our capacity to discover and exploit these laws is central to understanding the nature of voluntary action and to reconciling free will with our status as material beings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing his familiar verve and insight to this deep and most intriguing philosophical question, one that impacts most directly on our lives and touches on nearly every other philosophical problem - of consciousness, of time, of the nature of the natural world, and of our unique place in the cosmos - Tallis takes us to the heart of what we are. By understanding our freedom he reveals our extraordinary nature more clearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Tallis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788213785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788213783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Agenda Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Raymond Tallis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372517904639,"sku":"9781788213783","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_795378ac-9f3e-47ba-9dc0-986bab260779.jpg?v=1732726167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedom-raymond-tallis-9781788213783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
