Resumo

O presente artigo investiga o problema da vontade, destacando a dicotomia entre os métodos empíricos da neurociência e as reflexões conceituais da filosofia da mente. A neurociência tem revelado, por meio de estudos empíricos, como processos cerebrais inconscientes influenciam a tomada de decisões, desafiando a concepção tradicional de livre-arbítrio (Libet, 1985; Haggard, 2008). Em contrapartida, a filosofia da mente analisa as implicações epistemológicas e éticas desses achados, levantando questões sobre autonomia e responsabilidade moral (Frankfurt, 1971; Mele, 1995). Temos como objetivo discutir os desafios epistemológicos e metodológicos que surgem dessa interseção, propondo que a integração de abordagens quantitativas e qualitativas pode enriquecer a compreensão da liberdade humana, ressaltando a necessidade de um diálogo interdisciplinar (Pereboom, 2001; Vihvelin, 2013)
