About this book

This book  carries out an epistemological analysis of the decision, including a critical analysis through the continuous reference to an interdisciplinary approach  including a synthesis of philosophical approaches, biology and neuroscience. Besides this it represents the analysis of causality here seen not from the formal point of view,  but from the "embodied" point of view. ​
