Free Will, Consciousness and Self cover

This book explores what it means to be human, examining our relationships with the world, others, and ourselves. It presents a theoretical model to enhance understanding of human behavior and condition.

Free Will, Consciousness and Self delves into the profound questions surrounding what it means to be human. The author explores our relationships with the world, each other, and ourselves, examining these connections in both everyday contexts and in the face of life's significant challenges. This inquiry invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and the fundamental aspects of human existence.

Through the development of a comprehensive theoretical model, the author aims to enhance our understanding of the human condition. This model seeks to clarify the underlying principles that govern human behavior, suggesting that a cohesive framework can help us navigate our complexities. By integrating insights from various disciplines, the author highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to grasp the essence of humanity.

The book also emphasizes the role of general psychology as a bridge between the natural and social sciences. By doing so, it argues for a more integrated perspective that can contribute meaningfully to the field of anthropology. This synthesis of ideas encourages readers to consider how psychological principles can illuminate our understanding of cultural and social dynamics, ultimately enriching our grasp of what it means to be human.
