Reviews

This volume is an impressive achievement on the part of Murphy and Brown. They have provided a much-needed synthesis of philosophical and scientific resources dealing with moral responsibility and free will. Paul N. Markham, Science & Chrisitan Belief


`Review from previous edition The picture of agency presented here is one well worth pursuing...the general outlines of the view are plausible, and there is a rich research agenda here.' Neil Levy, Metapsychology `Fascinating...Did My Neurons Make Me Do It? is a nicely written, engaging book that makes a genuine contribution to the growing literature on mental causation.' Todd Stuart Ganson, Science
