Product DescriptionScience has always created problems for traditional ways of seeing things, but now the very attributes that make us human--free will, the permanence of personal identity, the existence of the soul--are threatened by the emergent science of the mind. If the mind is the brain, and therefore a physical object subject to deterministic laws, how can we have free will? If mist of our thoughts and impulses are unconscious, how can we be morally responsible for what we do? If brains and bodies are constantly undergoing change, how can our identities be constant? In The Problem of the Soul, renowned philosopher Owen Flanegan shows the way out of these paradoxes, demonstrating that we need not give up our ideas of moral responsibility and personal freedom in order to have an empirically sound view of the human mind.
