Scholar Heidi M. Ravven throws a wrench into this conventional view, calling free will a myth that reflects the still-powerful influence of Christian theology on our popular thinking.The Self Beyond Itself offers a riveting and accessible review of modern neuro-scientific research into the brain's capacity for decision-making?from mirror neurons and self-mapping to surprising new understandings of the dynamics of group psychology.
