Is free will an illusion? Is addiction a brain disease? Should we enhance our brains beyond normal?

The result is a nuanced view of human agency as surprisingly diverse and flexible. With a lively and accessible writing style, Neuroethics is an indispensable resource for students and scholars in both the sciences and humanities.
