This book presents a speculative philosophy, based on physics and neurophysiology, which offers explanations of how will is possible in a world described by physical laws. There is a history of similar attempts by scientists and philosophers that are also reviewed in this book. All of the proposals have to do with how quantum mechanics, and in particular the uncertainty principle, might operate in the human brain to provide a physical basis for human will.

The Author: Allan Harkavy has taught physics for the past 35 years. He is presently Professor Emeritus at SUNY-New Paltz. Dr. Harkavy has written articles on such topics as visual coding in the brain, magnetic resonance, and the Riemann Zeta Function. He was an early participant in the field of nuclear engineering.
