Backsliding: Understanding Weakness of Will
ISBN: 9780199366644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. People backslide.They freely do things they believe it would be best on the whole not to do -- a judgment developed from their own point of view, not just the perspective of their peers or their parents. The aim of this book is to to clarify the nature of backsliding - of actions that display some weakness of will -- using traditional philosophical techniques that date back to Plato and Aristotle (whose work on weakness of will or "akrasia" he discusses) and some new studies in the emerging field of experimental philosophy. Mele then attacks the thesis that backsliding is an illusion because...

Effective Intentions: The Power of Conscious Will
ISBN: 9780195384260 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Each of the following claims has been defended in the scientific literature on free will and consciousness: your brain routinely decides what you will do before you become conscious of its decision; there is only a 100 millisecond window of opportunity for free will, and all it can do is veto conscious decisions, intentions, or urges; intentions never play a role in producing corresponding actions; and free will is an illusion. In Effective Intentions Alfred Mele shows that the evidence offered to support these claims is sorely deficient. He also shows that there is strong...

Irrationality: An Essay on Akrasia, Self-Deception, and Self-Control
ISBN: 9780195080018 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although much human action serves as proof that irrational behavior is remarkably common, certain forms of irrationality--most notably, incontinent action and self-deception--pose such difficult theoretical problems that philosophers have rejected them as logically or psychologically impossible. Here, Mele shows that, and how, incontinent action and self-deception are indeed possible. Drawing upon recent experimental work in the psychology of action and inference, he advances naturalized explanations of akratic action and self-deception while resolving the paradoxes around which the...

Free: Why Science Hasn't Disproved Free Will
ISBN: 9780199371624 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook. There are neuroscientists who claim that our decisions are made unconsciously and are therefore outside of our control and social psychologists who argue that myriad imperceptible factors influence even our minor decisions to the...

Autonomous Agents: From Self-Control to Autonomy
ISBN: 9780195150438 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book addresses two related topics: self-control and individual autonomy. In approaching these issues, Mele develops a conception of an ideally self-controlled person, and argues that even such a person can fall short of personal autonomy. He then examines what needs to be added to such a person to yield an autonomous agent and develops two overlapping answers: one for compatibilist believers in human autonomy and one for incompatibilists. While remaining neutral between those who hold that autonomy is compatible with determinism and those who deny this, Mele shows that belief that there...

A Dialogue on Free Will and Science
ISBN: 9780199329298 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In A Dialogue on Free Will and Science, renowned philosopher Alfred Mele explores the experiments in neuroscience and psychology that have been said to pose the greatest challenges to free will. He uses an imagined dialogue among several characters to make what is typically a complex topic more accessible and engaging for students. Guided by the question "How much power do these scientific challenges have?," the characters first consider what having free will means and then react to well-known experiments that question its existence, including work by Libet and Milgram and the...

Springs of Action
ISBN: 9780195071146 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tackling some central problems in the philosophy of action, Mele constructs an explanatory model for intentional behavior, locating the place and significance of such mental phenomena as beliefs, desires, reason, and intentions in the etiology of intentional action. Part One comprises a comprehensive examination of the standard treatments of the relations between desires, beliefs, and actions. In Part Two, Mele goes on to develop a subtle and well-defended view that the motivational role of intentions is of a different sort from that of beliefs and desires. Mele, also offers a provocative...

Free Will and Luck
ISBN: 9780195374391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mele's ultimate purpose in this book is to help readers think more clearly about free will. He identifies and makes vivid the most important conceptual obstacles to justified belief in the existence of free will and meets them head on. Mele clarifies the central issue in the philosophical debate about free will and moral responsibility, criticizes various influential contemporary theories about free will, and develops two overlapping conceptions of free will - one for readers who are convinced that free will is incompatible with determinism (incompatibilists), and the other for readers who...

Aspects of Agency: Decisions, Abilities, Explanations, and Free Will
ISBN: 9780190659974 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The libertarian theory of free will combines a negative thesis and a positive thesis. The negative thesis is that free will is incompatible with determinism. The positive thesis is that there are actions that involve exercises of free will---'free actions, ' for short. While remaining neutral on this negative thesis, Aspects of Agency develops a detailed version of the positive thesis that represents paradigmatically free actions as indeterministically caused by their proximal causes and pays special attention to decisions so instigated. The bulk of Mele's work is a masterful defense...

Self-Deception Unmasked
ISBN: 9780691057453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Self-deception raises complex questions about the nature of belief and the structure of the human mind. In this book, Alfred Mele addresses four of the most critical of these questions: What is it to deceive oneself? How do we deceive ourselves? Why do we deceive ourselves? Is self-deception really possible? Drawing on cutting-edge empirical research on everyday reasoning and biases, Mele takes issue with commonplace attempts to equate the processes of self-deception with those of stereotypical interpersonal deception. Such attempts, he demonstrates, are fundamentally misguided,... Self-deception raises complex questions about the nature of belief and the structure of the human mind.
