The Causational And Free Will Theories Of Volition: Being A Review Of Dr. Carpenter's Mental Physiology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163587324)

""The Causational and Free Will Theories of Volition"" is a book written by Malcolm Guthrie that provides a comprehensive review of Dr. Carpenter's Mental Physiology. The book explores the two main theories of volition, namely the causational theory and the free will theory, and examines how Dr. Carpenter's work contributes to our understanding of these theories. The causational theory suggests that all human actions are determined by prior causes, such as genetics, environment, and upbringing. On the other hand, the free will theory suggests that humans have the ability to make choices independent of prior causes. Guthrie analyzes Dr. Carpenter's work in light of these two theories, examining how his research on the brain and nervous system contributes to our understanding of volition. The book also explores the implications of these theories for moral responsibility, ethics, and the law. Overall, ""The Causational and Free Will Theories of Volition"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a comprehensive review of Dr. Carpenter's work and its contribution to our understanding of volition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
