How brains make up their minds

Starting from a broad foundation in history, philosophy and neuroscience, Walter J. Freeman takes us in steps from single neurons to an explanation of our capacities for self-determination. The process is not easy to grasp, but comprehension is the best way to face down genetic and environmental determinism, apply our new biological knowledge in defense of our freedom, and accept responsibility for what we do with it.

  • "In this book, the author shows how we control our behavior and make sense of the world around us. Avoiding determinism both in sociobiology, which proposes that persons' genes control their brains' functioning, and in neuroscience, which posits that their brains' disposition is molded by chemistry and environmental forces, he charts a new course--one that gives individuals due credit and responsibility for their actions. (Midwest)."
