HumanaMente - 15

www.humanamente.eu

The aim of the present issue of Humana.Mente is to frame the debate by introducing original arguments in the fields of theory of agency and free will. With this purpose in mind, we invited authors from different disciplines to submit their contributions. We received enthusiastic replies from some of the most prominent scholars working in these fields. This is certainly evidence that the topic we proposed still arouses steady interest even after over two thousand years of philosophical and scientific discussion. This volume is also evidence that the debate is not frozen and that new conceptions and perspectives have been developed over the last ten years. In order to make the composition of the issue clear, we decided to divide the Papers Section into two parts. The former devoted to introduce arguments concerning the theory of agency, the latter devoted to introduce specific perspectives on the notion of free will.
