Kevin J. Mitchell
“We can think about our own thoughts, reason about our own reasons, and communicate with each other through a shared language. We can access the machine code running in our brains by translating high-level abstract concepts into causally efficacious patterns of neural activity. This gives a physical basis for how decisions are made in real time, not just as the outcome of complex physical interactions but also for consciously accessible reasons, and it provides a firm footing for the otherwise troublesome concept of mental causation.”
Kevin J. Mitchell, Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will
