Abstract

In this introduction to a thematic issue dealing with free will, some possibilities of free will in different physical, social, and technological worlds, as well as discussions of the possibilities are considered. What are the possibilities and limitations of free will in various other worlds differing from our world? What are the possibilities and limitations of free will in different species, both in our world and in other hypothetical worlds, including future species, naturally evolving, and artificially modified? What are the possibilities and limitations of free will related to the development of AI? How can the diversity of free will levels in an agent be related to possible levels (depth) of its self-knowledge? What can agents differing in levels of self-knowledge know and think about the issue of free will? How do different societies (social worlds) support and inhibit different manifestations of free will in different areas? What is the role of hard neurodeterminism and "mindless neuroscience" in general neuroscience? What are ethical aspects of the questions, including the initial one: "If a neuroscientist denies free will, how can they write a text of voluntary informed consent and propose to sign it?".

不同物理、社会和技术世界中自由意志的可能性：专题导言。

在这篇关于自由意志专题的导言中，我们将探讨自由意志在不同的物理、社会和技术世界中的一些可能性，以及对这些可能性的讨论。在不同于我们这个世界的其他世界中，自由意志有哪些可能性和局限性？在我们这个世界和其他假设世界（包括未来物种、自然进化物种和人工改造物种）的不同物种中，自由意志的可能性和局限性是什么？与人工智能的发展相关的自由意志的可能性和局限性是什么？代理人自由意志水平的多样性如何与其自我认知的可能水平（深度）相关联？在自由意志问题上，自我认知水平不同的代理可以有哪些认识和思考？不同的社会（社会世界）如何支持和抑制自由意志在不同领域的不同表现？硬神经决定论和 "无意识神经科学 "在一般神经科学中的作用是什么？这些问题（包括最初的问题）的伦理方面是什么？"如果神经科学家否认自由意志，他们怎么能撰写自愿知情同意书并提议签署？

期刊介绍： IPBS: Integrative Psychological & Behavioral Science is an international interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the advancement of basic knowledge in the social and behavioral sciences. IPBS covers such topics as cultural nature of human conduct and its evolutionary history, anthropology, ethology, communication processes between people, and within-- as well as between-- societies. A special focus will be given to integration of perspectives of the social and biological sciences through theoretical models of epigenesis. It contains articles pertaining to theoretical integration of ideas, epistemology of social and biological sciences, and original empirical research articles of general scientific value. History of the social sciences is covered by IPBS in cases relevant for further development of theoretical perspectives and empirical elaborations within the social and biological sciences. IPBS has the goal of integrating knowledge from different areas into a new synthesis of universal social science—overcoming the post-modernist fragmentation of ideas of recent decades.
