With examples drawn from everyday life, criminal behavior, neurological disorders, literature, and philosophical positions, Sternberg (Tufts U. School of Medicine), who majored in neuroscience and philosophy, makes a cogent case that advances in understanding brain functioning do not ipso facto support neurobiological determinism regarding free will and moral responsibility. He argues that research focuses on simple choices, but humans reflect and act on complex 'boundless' (i.e., not rule- bound) dilemmas. The book includes annotated further readings.
