This cutting-edge collection impressively covers a wide range of topics, ranging from free will and moral responsibility to monothematic delusions. There is something here for everyone with an interest in the philosophy of action - experimental or otherwise - and for everyone with an interest in the very lively field of experimental philosophy. * Alfred Mele, William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University, USA * This impressive volume makes a powerful case for the value of experimental philosophy of action by showcasing recent experimentally-informed work on free will, self-control, moral judgment, reasoning, assertion, and animal agency. It undeniably advances our understanding of some of the most interesting questions at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, and the law. * Manuel Vargas, Professor of Philosophy, University of California San Diego, USA * This volume is a must for anyone interested in contemporary experimental work related to action theory. It beautifully illustrates ways in which a variety of experimental data can inform and constrain philosophical theorizing about action, normal and compromised agency, free will, ethics, and responsibility. * Adina L. Roskies, The Helman Family Distinguished Professor, Dartmouth College, USA * Many subfields in philosophy have profited from close engagement with relevant empirical sciences. With this volume, edited by Henne and Murray, philosophy of action takes a major step in this direction. These essays seamlessly weave together philosophical and empirical perspectives as they tackle core questions about agency. * Chandra Sripada, Professor of Philosophy and Psychiatry, University of Michigan, USA *
