Product Information
"Intertwines history, philosophy, and science . . . A powerful challenge to conventional notions of individual responsibility" ( Publishers Weekly ). Few concepts are more unshakable in our culture than free will, the idea that individuals are fundamentally in control of the decisions they make, good or bad. And yet the latest research about how the brain functions seems to point in the opposite direction . . . In a work of breathtaking intellectual sweep and erudition, Heidi M. Ravven offers a riveting and accessible review of cutting-edge neuroscientific research into the brain's capacity for decision-making--from "mirror" neurons and "self-mapping" to surprising new understandings of group psychology. The Self Beyond Itself also introduces readers to a rich, alternative philosophical tradition of ethics, rooted in the writing of Baruch Spinoza, that finds uncanny confirmation in modern science. Illustrating the results of today's research with real-life examples, taking readers from elementary school classrooms to Nazi concentration camps, Ravven demonstrates that it is possible to build a theory of ethics that doesn't rely on free will yet still holds both individuals and groups responsible for the decisions that help create a good society. The Self Beyond Itself is that rare book that injects new ideas into an old debate--and "an important contribution to the development of our thinking about morality" ( Washington Independent Review of Books ). "An intellectual hand-grenade . . . A magisterial survey of how contemporary neuroscience supports a vision of human morality which puts it squarely on the same plane as other natural phenomena." --William D. Casebeer, author of Natural Ethical Facts

Reviews
As she delves deeply into the cognitive, cultural and philosophical sources of moral agency, Ravven takes careful note of the emerging brain sciences. . . .[A] must-read for anyone interested in the breadth and depth of our moral mentality." —Jaak Panksepp, Baily Endowed Professor in Animal Well-Being Sciences, Washington State University, and author of The Archaeology of Mind An intellectual hand-grenade, The Self Beyond Itself is a magisterial survey of how contemporary neuroscience supports a vision of human morality which puts it squarely on the same plane as other natural phenomena. . . . This book will spark fruitful debate and reminds us of the debt we owe Aristotle and Spinoza as we make sense of ourselves as part of the natural world." —William D. Casebeer, author of Natural Ethical Facts The most brilliant, original book on ethics in decades. Ravven's immense erudition and sharp critical insights are extraordinary. This is a fascinating book for everyone concerned about education, politics, history, philosophy, religion, and the survival of human society." —Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College Shatters the many bubbles that contemporary philosophers have built around themselves. Its criticisms of free will are historically grounded and logically cogent; its alternative views of freedom and moral agency, drawing largely on Spinoza, are persuasive and much needed. This book will generate wide discussion in academic fields—and break new paths for society as a whole." —John McCumber, professor of Germanic languages, UCLA I began reading this book, because I had agreed to; I stayed because it riveted me. Not only is this a brilliant examination of ethical behavior in the light of history, social psychology, brain science, and philosophy, it is a powerful demonstration of what those disciplines are for. A new basis for the instilling of ethical behavior cannot be gainsaid after reading The Self Beyond Itself ." —Daniel Boyarin, Taubman Professor of Talmudic Culture, University of California, Berkeley Fascinating, accessible, and engaging. . . . Ravven provides an alternative vision of human ethics, initially expressed in the naturalistic philosophy of Spinoza but also well supported by contemporary research in the cognitive sciences." —Wendell Wallach, Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics Extraordinarily wide-ranging, fervently argued, and visionary. . . . Ravven's book is an exemplary case of a public philosophy, or the use of different modes of reasoning to broaden political sensibilities and battle provincialism." —Jim Wetzel, Augustinian Chair, Villanova University A thought-provoking study about the most urgent moral questions." —Warren Zev Harvey, professor emeritus, Department of Jewish Thought, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem A perfect book for thoughtful people who wish they had taken (or wish they had paid attention in) a philosophy class in college. The real-life examples render the ideas very accessible and illustrate how our concepts of ‘self' influence everything we do. Make it the gift you give your ‘self.'" —P.H. Longstaff, professor, S.I.

The estimated time of arrival was changed. It was originally purchased on April 28 and shipped the following day on April 29 (not May 6 ... that was changed later for some reason). Anyway it arrived April 16, seventeen days after its "original" shipping date (April 29) and as advertised, is in "Brand New" condition. In the end, it arrived on time and I got what I asked for. Thank You. ✌️
