Chapter 1: Arguments that persons are constituted by their brains but are not identical to them. By showing that the mind is the product of interaction between and among the brain, body, and environment.Chapter 2: Arguments that the findings from cognitive neuroscience do not show that free will is an illusion and point out flaws in the argument from illusion. The fact that a mental state or event has a physical cause in the brain does not imply that it is not among the causes of an action. Nor does it imply that our choices and actions are coerced, compelled, or constrained by normal brain processes.
