What forms of freedom have evolved since the first stirrings of life? Can freedom and free will exist in a deterministic universe? If we are free, are we responsible for our freedom, or is it governed by chance?Drawing on evolutionary biology and the cognitive sciences, Daniel Dennett provides a series of unorthodox replies to these traditional philosophical questions. It is generally held that what is determined is inevitable and that freedom can only exist in a non-deterministic universe. This is untrue, says Dennett. It is also held that in a pre-determined universe, we have no real choices: all we have is the illusion that we can choose. This too is false, argues Dennett. He then goes on to explain how, some day, we will be able to create robots endowed with free will.In this groundbreaking book, written in a striking, lively style, Dennett interweaves philosophical creativity with the latest scientific developments, and challenges a series of philosophical orthodoxies.Daniel C. Dennett is University Professor and Director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University, Mass., U.S.A. He is the author of Consciousness Explained and Darwin's Dangerous Idea. \/ Il y a des milliards d'ann es, il n'y avait pas de libert sur Terre. Car il n'y avait pas de vie. Quelles formes de libert se sont d velopp es depuis les origines de la vie ? Peut-il y avoir libre arbitre dans un monde d termin ? Si nous sommes libres, sommes-nous responsables de notre libert ou n'est-ce qu'un hasard ? ces questions classiques, Daniel C. Dennett apporte des r ponses audacieuses, fond es sur la biologie de l' volution et les sciences cognitives. On croit en g n ral que ce qui est d termin est in vitable et que seul l'ind terminisme ferait de nous des tres libres. Rien de plus faux, selon Daniel C. Dennett. On estime en g n ral que, dans un monde d termin, nous n'avons pas de choix r el, seulement une apparence de choix possible. Rien de plus faux, l encore. O l'on d couvre pourquoi, un jour, nous pourrions peut- tre cr er des robots capables d'apprendre tre libres...Une pens e philosophique originale, une prose merveilleusement vivante, des raisonnements extraordinairement p n trants !\", Richard Rorty.Daniel C. Dennett est professeur la Tufts University ( tats-Unis), o il dirige le Centre d' tudes cognitives. Il est notamment l'auteur de La Conscience expliqu e et de Darwin est-il dangereux ?\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odile Jacob","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969757069463,"sku":"9782738115577","price":5332.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782738115577.webp?v=1782923865","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/evolutionist-theory-of-freedom-th-orie-volutionniste-de-la-libert-9782738115577","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
