Recenzii
[Harris] documents in meticulous detail, with great sensitivity and unswerving impartiality, how Chomsky's early theories captured the imagination of the new generation cognitive scientists and resulted in the overthrow of Bloomfieldian linguistics and behaviourist psychology more generally. He explains the elegance of 'deep structure' and the power of Chomsky's conception of language as expounded in the 'standard theory', and then shows how a disparate group of young scholars, the generative semanticists, effectively hijacked the fledgling theory and developed it in ways so radical that Chomsky soon came to be seen as a reactionary fighting a rearguard action against the forces of progress. . . .I can vouch for the accuracy and fairness of Harris's dissection. . . .Harris has achieved the near impossible: being fair to both sides in a civil war.
In this delightful and rich book, Deery makes the strongest case to date for the important idea that Free Action is a natural kind, and he deftly argues that this can provide a novel ground for compatibilism. It is one of the most interesting books on free will to appear in the last decade.
An impressive, scientifically well-informed contribution to the philosophical literature on free will. Deery's approach to investigating free will is fresh, and he presents his ideas with great clarity. Highly recommended to anyone with more than a passing interest in free will.
Drawing on an astonishingly wide-ranging swath of recent developments in philosophical work on language, perception, causation, metaphysics, and psychology, Deery makes an original and powerful case for the reality of an empirically credible picture of free action. This is a model for 21st century work on free will.
This elegantly written and forcefully argued book presents a strikingly novel version of the view that human free will is real. The book is a major contribution to the philosophical literature on free will.
