El poder de decisión o el último grito del ápeiron

Abstract

The present work analyzes the issue of freedom or free will rethinking the classic concepts from atomistic Materialism and Medieval philosophy, and contrasting them with recent emergent phenomena studies in the neurosciences. The forms and explanations about freedom from Aristotelian and Galilean traditions are compared from a phenomenological viewpoint. It is proposed that the transformations and the emerging nervous properties, viewed as the modern concept of plasticity, may be determinant for the possibility of freedom.
