    The deep roots of creativity, freedom and meaning in the human brain and mind

    by Peter Ulric Tse ...
    Free Imagination argues that the brain's capacity to imagine is the fundamental basis of human Free Will. Laws of physics need not apply in our internal simulations, so virtually anything is possible there. And since some of our actions can follow from that which we imagine, especially from processes of deliberation that involve imagining possible scenarios and outcomes, our actions inherit the ...

For this reason, outcomes are neither determined nor ... Read more

    Philosophical Perspectives on Cognitive Neuroscience

    by William Bechtel ...
