Is Science Compatible with Free Will?

Exploring Free Will and Consciousness in the Light of Quantum Physics and Neuroscience

There is a perceived conflict within the scientific community between the conviction that a human being has free will on one hand, and deterministic physics and neuroscience on the other. When faced with this conflict, two alternative positions are possible: either human freedom is an illusion, or deterministic science is not the last word on the brain and will eventually be superseded by a neuroscience that admits processes not completely determined by the past.Is Science Compatible with Free Will? investigates whether it is possible to have a science in which there is room for human freedom.

Über den Autor

Antoine Suarez, Center for Quantum Philosophy (Geneva and Zürich) and Social Trends Institute (Barcelona and New York). Dr Suarez' research is focused on quantum experiments demonstrating agency from outside space-time, and bioethical topics. He is co-editor of Mathematical Undecidability, Quantum Nonlocality and the question of the existence of God (Kluwer, 1997) and Is this cell a human being? (Springer, 2011) Peter Adams is a founding member of the Thomas More Institute (London) which has among its aims to promote research and public debate on the interaction of Science with Culture and Politics. He has had a long-standing interest in philosophy of science, and education. He studied Theoretical Physics at Oxford, and then worked for the Science Research Council at the Rutherford Laboratory on Britain's particle accelerator.
