Book Synopsis
Argues that what we need to more forward in our understanding of human agency is a reform in the way we study ourselves and a long overdue break with traditional humanist thinking. This title draws from the history of science and contemporary psychology and neuroscience to build a framework for the study of human agency.

Trade Review
"This is a highly original and very provocative book. Davies puts forth a version of naturalism that is far more critical of our philosophical and intellectual heritage than past proponents have dared to be. Sharply and forcefully argued, it will be of interest to a substantial range of philosophers, biologists, cognitive scientists, and lay readers." - William Bechtel, University of California, San Diego"
