HumanaMente agency. From embodied cognition to free will

Edizioni ETS, 2012

The aim of the present issue of Humana.Mente is to frame the debate by introducing original arguments in the fields of theory of agency and free will. With this purpose in mind, we invited authors from different disciplines to submit their contributions. We received enthusiastic replies from some of the most prominent scholars working in these fields. This is certainly evidence that the topic we proposed still arouses steady interest even after over two thousand years of philosophical and scientific discussion. This volume is also evidence that the debate is not frozen and that new conceptions and perspectives have been developed over the last ten years. In order to make the composition of the issue clear, we decided to divide the Papers Section into two parts. The former devoted to introduce arguments concerning the theory of agency, the latter devoted to introduce specific perspectives on the notion of free will. In this issue papers by: MARK H. BICKHARD (Director of Institute for Interactivist Studies, Lehigh University) - TONY CHEMERO (Franklin and Marshall College) & MICHAEL D. SILBERSTEIN (Elizabethtown College) - TERRY HORGAN (Arizona University) - ROBERTA DE MONTICELLI (San Raffaele University, Milan) - SHAUN GALLAGHER (Florida University) - MAURO MALDONATO (University of Basilicata) - SUSAN POCKETT (University of Auckland) - DAVIDE RIGONI (University of Padua), LUCA SAMMICHELI (University of Bologna), MARCEL BRASS (Gent University) - STEVE TORRANCE (Sussex Uk); TOM FROESE (University of Sussex) - JING ZHU (Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition, National Yang Ming University)
