Distributed Cognition and the Will
By:Don Ross,David Spurrett,Harold Kincaid,G. Lynn Stephens
Published on 2007 by MIT Press
Recent scientific findings about human decision making would seem to threaten thetraditional concept of the individual conscious will. The will is threatened from |below|by the discovery that our apparently spontaneous actions are actually controlled and initiated frombelow the level of our conscious awareness, and from |above| by the recognition that weadapt our actions according to social dynamics of which we are seldom aware. In DistributedCognition and the Will, leading philosophers and behavioral scientists consider how much,if anything, of the traditional concept of the individual conscious will survives these discoveries,and they assess the implications for our sense of freedom and responsibility. The contributors alltake science seriously, and they are inspired by the idea that apparent threats to the cogency ofthe idea of will might instead become the basis of its reemergence as a scientific subject. Theyconsider macro-scale issues of society and culture, the micro-scale dynamics of the mind/brain, andconnections between macro-scale and micro-scale phenomena in the self-guidance and self-regulationof personal behavior.
