Free Will and the Human Sciences in Britain, 1870-1910

Auteur: Smith, Roger
Editeur: University of Pittsburgh Press
From the late nineteenth century onwards religion gave way to science as the dominant force in society. This led to a questioning of the principle of free will - if the workings of the human mind could be reduced to purely physiological explanations, then what place was there for human agency and self-improvement?
