Determined. The Science of Life Without Free Will. Robert Sapolsky. Summary

This is a summary—a shortened version of Robert Sapolsky’s book “Determined. The Science of Life Without Free Will.” Only the most valuable thoughts, ideas, cases, and examples.

We like to think of ourselves as humane creatures. The desire to get even and punish arises in us only when the offender “deserves it.” Robert Sapolsky sets out to determine who actually bears responsibility for their actions—and comes to a conclusion that only the most humane and the most science-believing people will be able to accept.

This unexpected, revolutionary work by the well-known educator may change your views on justice, crime, and punishment forever.
