Free Will [Deckle Edge]

Free Will [Deckle Edge] is a book by Sam Harris, a philosopher, and neuroscientist, who argues that the concept of free will is an illusion and has no basis in reality. He claims that human thoughts and actions are determined by prior causes, such as genes, environment, and brain states, and that we are not the conscious authors of our choices.

He also discusses the implications of this view for morality, law, and society. The book was published in 2012 by Free Press and has received mixed reviews from critics and readers. Some praised the book’s clarity, logic, and challenge to conventional wisdom, while others criticized it for its lack of evidence, originality, and relevance.
