Free Will and Illusion

'Review from previous edition I enjoyed this book.... Smilansky shows a remarkable breadth of learning and an admirable ability to address what needs addressing without engaging in make-work projects.' -Richard Double, MindSaul Smilansky presents an original new approach to the problem of free will, which lies at the heart of morality and human self-understanding. He maintains that the key to the problem is the role played by illusion. Smilansky's bold claim is that we could not live adequately with a complete awareness of the truth about human freedom: illusion lies at the centre of the human condition.
