Sommario/riassunto

Neil Levy presents a new theory of freedom and responsibility. He defends a particular account of consciousness-the global workspace view-and argues that consciousness plays an especially important role in action. There are good reasons to think that the naive assumption, that consciousness is needed for moral responsibility, is in fact true.
