Summary:

This collection of essays explores the scientific explanation of consciousness, the moral socialisation of children, and issues of psychology such as multiple personality disorder, false memory syndrome and the nature of free will.

Continuing the old philosophical project of reconciling a scientific view of ourselves with the view of ourselves as agents of free will and meaning, but bringing to this project the latest insights of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychiatry, Flanagan's collection of essays explores topics such as a scientific explanation of consciousness, the moral socialization of children, and the nature and issues of psychological phenomena such as multiple personality disorder and false memory syndrome.
