The Illusion of Conscious Will
Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press (2002)
Abstract
In this book Daniel Wegner offers a novel understanding of the relation of consciousness, the will, and our intentional and voluntary actions. Wegner claims that our experience and common sense view according to which we can influence our behavior roughly the way we experience that we do it is an illusion.
