'My Brain Made Me Do It'

A 22-year-old author discusses the threat that brain science poses to our concept of free will

At age 22, Eliezer Sternberg has just published his second book on neuroscience and philosophy: “My Brain Made Me Do It,” now out from Prometheus Books. In it, he argues that our growing understanding of how the brain works does not mean the end of moral responsibility. Rather, he sees free will as a special property that emerges from more basic brain functions. A student at Tufts Medical School, he took time out from his first-year exams to talk with Mind Matters co-editor Carey Goldberg....(more)

嚇人的是這位作者...才22歲。更嚇人的是...搞什麼，訪問內容中很明顯地，這些事情我們早都知道了。

如果說有什麼自己的觀點，就是「free will is an emergent property」以及「determinism is not compatible with morality/responsibility」兩點。然而訪問中並沒有論證，很好奇他如何論述前者，也質疑後者可能是個天真爛漫的直覺。

總之，一本簡單的入門書，我們都可以寫。為何不呢？（若你們真的想要寫書，讓我參一腳！）
