Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Action [Pehme köide]

This cutting-edge collection impressively covers a wide range of topics, ranging from free will and moral responsibility to monothematic delusions. There is something here for everyone with an interest in the philosophy of action experimental or otherwise and for everyone with an interest in the very lively field of experimental philosophy. * Alfred Mele, William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University, USA * This impressive volume makes a powerful case for the value of experimental philosophy of action by showcasing recent experimentally-informed work on free will, self-control, moral judgment, reasoning, assertion, and animal agency. It undeniably advances our understanding of some of the most interesting questions at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, and the law. * Manuel Vargas, Professor of Philosophy, University of California San Diego, USA * This volume is a must for anyone interested in contemporary experimental work related to action theory. It beautifully illustrates ways in which a variety of experimental data can inform and constrain philosophical theorizing about action, normal and compromised agency, free will, ethics, and responsibility. * Adina L. Roskies, The Helman Family Distinguished Professor, Dartmouth College, USA * Many subfields in philosophy have profited from close engagement with relevant empirical sciences. With this volume, edited by Henne and Murray, philosophy of action takes a major step in this direction. These essays seamlessly weave together philosophical and empirical perspectives as they tackle core questions about agency. * Chandra Sripada, Professor of Philosophy and Psychiatry, University of Michigan, USA *
