Can there be freedom and free will in a deterministic world? Renowned philosopher Daniel Dennett answers with an emphatic yes, showing us how we alone among the animals have evolved minds that give us free will and morality. Weaving a richly detailed narrative that draws upon evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, and philosophy, Dennett explains in a series of strikingly original arguments that by using standard neo-Darwinian reasoning, we can build from the simplest life forms all the way up to the best and deepest human thoughts on questions of morality, meaning and freedom. Rather than seeking to replace traditional work on ethics with some Darwinian alternative, in Freedom Evolves Dennett seeks to place tehics on the foundation it deserves: a realistic, naturalistic, potentially unified vision of our place in nature.
