Synopsis "The Determinists"

Is free will an illusion? Do you really choose what you do — or does it just feel that way? That question is at the center of an increasingly influential case against free will, made in recent years by neuroscientist Sam Harris (Free Will), neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky (Determined), and physicist Sabine Hossenfelder (Existential Physics). The Determinists asks whether the authors have made a compelling case for determinism, and whether free will advocates have adequately responded to the determinist challenge. The book examines the authors' positions, argument by argument, against the physics, neuroscience, and philosophy they draw upon. This isn't a defense of free will, and it isn't a dismissal of determinism. It's a rigorous, evidence-first look at one of the most consequential debates in science and philosophy today. The Determinists doesn't ask readers to abandon skepticism about free will. It applies that same degree of scrutiny to the case against free will as set forth in popular determinist advocacy.
