如果人沒有自由意志，懲罰與責任都得閃一邊去！當代最暢銷的天才型哲普作家朱立安‧巴吉尼以哲學敲響我們對認知、自由與道德的省思哲學雞蛋糕老闆 朱家安 台大哲學系教授 苑舉正華梵大學哲學系教授 冀劍制 知名作家 謝哲青 好讀推薦 喝咖啡或喝茶、升學或求職、結婚或單身、換工作或咬牙苦撐、搭火車或搭公車、拿起這本書或放下這本書，我們每天都在做大大小小的各種決定。我們都知道也相信自己可以自由做出各種決定，然而從人們開始進行哲學思考以來，就不斷有人否定這樣的說法，也就是否定「自由意志」。 隨著科學進展，越來越多人拒絕自由意志，認為那不過是一種錯覺。達爾文說過：「自然界的每樣東西都是固定法則的結果。」愛因斯坦也說：「所有事都是被我們無法控制的力量預先決定的，不論開始或結束。」科學家以為，以自由意志這類事物來欺騙我們自己，便是演化出來的適應性行為。神經科學進一步助長對自由意志的否定：我們的行為並非意識和欲望所決定，而是腦部的神經反應和傳導過程。於是，「自由意志不過是種幻覺」變成顯學。但如果我們都接受我們的行為是由我們無法控制的因素所造成的結果，那我們就很難繼續堅持要人們對自己的行為負起道德責任。如果沒有自由意志，看來責任和懲罰都得閃一邊去，而那可是法律和道德的基礎。舉例而言，一九八四年，聖地牙哥有名男子槍殺了21個人，他主張他的憤怒是因為吃了麥當勞的食物而裡面含有會讓神經興奮的傳導物質所致，加上他從事焊接工吸入過多的鎘。 關於自由意志的討論，將對社會造成很大的影響，不論是懲罰、尊重人性、社會正義、人際往來。科學說，行動是因果的，人是機械的，意識是不存在的！且讓哲學領著你破除科學的迷思，尋找自由意志的可能。哲普聖手朱立安‧巴吉尼，以戲劇般的鋪陳，讓自由意志變得生動真實︰首先深入探討神經學與遺傳學的極端立場如何讓我們喪失自由意志； 再以藝術家創作及異議人士追求言論自由為例，帶我們拯救自由意志；接著實地探訪精神疾患與成癮者，看看自由意志如何被削弱；最終以哲學思辨帶我們真正認識自由，以積極的態度看待自己的選擇與責任。 ◎作者以非常細膩的手法，提高了哲學論述的空間……我在閱讀本書的過程中，跟隨作者在論述自由意志的步伐裡，看到了科技與人文的對話，想到自己與他人之間的互動，驚覺哲學的功用必須以人為本，以認識自己做為努力的起點。――台大哲學系教授 苑舉正◎自由意志的問題脈絡龐

Rousseau is often portrayed as an educational and social reformer whose aim was to increase individual freedom. In this volume David Gauthier examines Rousseau's evolving notion of freedom, where he focuses on a single quest: can freedom and the independent self be regained? Rousseau's first answer is given in Emile, where he seeks to create a self-sufficient individual, neither materially nor psychologically enslaved to others. His second is in the Social Contract, where he seeks to create a citizen who identifies totally with his community, experiencing his dependence on it only as a dependence on himself. Rousseau implicitly recognized the failure of these solutions. His third answer is one of the main themes of the Confessions and Reveries, where he is made for a love that merges the selves of the lovers into a single, psychologically sufficient unity that makes each 'better than free'. But is this response a chimaera?
