Özgürlüğün Evrimi

Can freedom and free will exist in a deterministic world? Famous philosopher Daniel Dennett gives a strong yes answer to this question by showing how alone we are among animals with our evolved mind that provides us with free will and morality. Dennett draws on evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, and philosophy and uses standard neo-Darwinian reasoning to weave the richly detailed story. He explains that we can build the best and deepest human thoughts on the issues of morality, meaning and freedom by starting from the simplest forms of life. By making a Darwinian contribution to traditional studies on ethics, he attempts to establish ethics on the foundations it deserves: a holistic view of our place in nature.

"Anyone interested in the interplay of scientific theory and the way we think about human nature could do no better than reading this book." -Simon Blackburn, American Scientist

"It's intellectually liberating."
-San Francisco Chronicle

"In a series of brilliant books, Dennett has tackled really important issues, made them clear, treated them seriously, and offered much to think about and (more importantly) challenge."
-The Washington Post Book World
