Contrary to this hypothesis, the contributions to this volume show that recent developments in neuroscience can also support the existence of free will. Firstly, the possibility of intentional consciousness is studied. Secondly, Libet’s experiments are discussed from this new perspective. Thirdly, the relationship between free will, causality and language is analyzed. This approach suggests that language grants the human brain a possibility to articulate a meaningful personal life. Therefore, human beings can escape strict biological determinism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements   The Authors   Introduction   Bernard Feltz, Marcus Missal and Andrew Sims    Part 1: Intention and Consciousness   1 Perceptual Decision-Making and Beyond: Intention as Mental Imagery   Andrew Sims and Marcus Missal   2 Dual-System Theory and the Role of Consciousness in Intentional Action   Markus Schlosser   3 When Do Robots Have Free Will?
