Can there be freedom and free will in a deterministic world? Renowned philosopher Daniel Dennett emphatically answers "yes!" Using an array of provocative formulations, Dennett sets out to show how we alone among the animals have evolved minds that give us free will and morality. Weaving a richly detailed narrative, Dennett explains in a series of strikingly original arguments—drawing upon evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, and philosophy—that far from being an enemy of traditional explorations of freedom, morality, and meaning, the evolutionary perspective can be an indispensable ally. In Freedom Evolves , Dennett seeks to place ethics on the foundation it deserves: a realistic, naturalistic, potentially unified vision of our place in nature.

Elbow Room是在论证,人们赋予自由意志的种种意义,为何与决定论并不冲突,相反在决定论下能得到更好的安顿,此书则进一步论述自由意志的各项意义如何一步步发展而来。前四章的内容虽与ER有所重复,但仍不容跳过,特别是第三章对因果关系的阐释,给我震动很大

Don't give free will more meaning, to achieve complete free will.
