Human Agency and Neural Causes: Philosophy of Action and the Neuroscience of Voluntary Agency

Human Agency and Neural Causes provides an analysis of our everyday thought about our conduct, and the neuroscience research concerning voluntary agency. J.D. Runyan argues that our findings through neuroscience are consistent with what would be expected if we are, in fact, voluntary agents.

J. D. Runyan is Associate Professor of Neuropsychology at Indiana Wesleyan University, USA. He performed graduate research in neuroscience at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, USA, before completing a doctorate at the University of Oxford, UK. His research spans neuroscience, psychology, and philosophical psychology.
