Voluntary action is an important component of a free society. It is part of what Friedrich Hayek called the third or independent sector, distinct from the state on the one hand and the market on the other. However, Robert Whelan argues that the voluntary sector today has allowed itself to be fatally compromised by its involvement with the state. Many charities derive a large part of their income from government. They have exchanged their independence for taxpayers' money since, in a state-funded 'voluntary' sector, the state determines the scope of voluntary action. It is what the government of the day is prepared to pay for. the crisis of the welfare state, but the political dependency of many charities makes them part of the problem instead. How much can we expect from a voluntary sector which has allowed itself to be muzzled by contract and neutered by subsidy? become, not least by imposing costly bureaucracy while stopping short of taking full responsibility, leaving the charity to carry the can if something goes wrong.

Faith in the new cybernetic technology has led many people to discern mindlike behavior in automata and to predict that soon we shall have machines that exhibit most of the qualities of the human mind. This modern attitude is not unlike the seventeenth-century faith that mechanical principles would explain the sensibilities and actions of animate bodies.Fearing's account begins, as it must, with Descartes, who invented a mechanical model--the reflex--to interpret action. Descartes, though, exempted mind from the same explanation; he found the products of mind much too complex to be grouped together with the actions of machines of the type then known. His qualms were not shared by successors such as LaMettrie, whose "L'Homme Machine" established a new tradition, now given great encouragement by modern developments in computing machinery.Beginning then with this contrast between Descartes and his near contemporaries, we find a duality of concern in what becomes reflex doctrine. The three centuries following have witnessed recurring debates on the various issues centered around attempts to explain both man's action and thought in terms of the mechanics of the reflex. The division corresponds roughly to the difference between the labors of the nerve physiologist and the explanatory programs of the philosopher-cum-psychologist.It may be surprising to those who have viewed reflex action as a topic in physiology that the author of this most complete history of the topic was, in fact, a psychologist. But this fact is thoroughly explicable in terms of the role that reflex notions had come to play in the psychology of the time when this book was originally published in 1930.Throughout the book Fearing takes pains not only to detail progress in clarifying the physiological basis of the reflex but also to explicate the debates that centered around naturalistic interpretations of animal and human action. He presents these developments with complete scholarly detachment.The fate of the reflex interpretation of behavior more than illuminates past efforts at comprehending the behavior of animals and men--it also introduces some sobering thoughts for the future of such efforts.

What is the difference between a wink and a blink? The answer is important not only to philosophers of mind, for significant moral and legal consequences rest on the distinction between voluntary and involuntary behavior. However, "action theory"—the branch of philosophy that has traditionally articulated the boundaries between action and non-action, and between voluntary and involuntary behavior—has been unable to account for the difference. Alicia Juarrero argues that a mistaken, 350-year-old model of cause and explanation—one that takes all causes to be of the push-pull, efficient cause sort, and all explanation to be prooflike—underlies contemporary theories of action. Juarrero then proposes a new framework for conceptualizing causes based on complex adaptive systems. Thinking of causes as dynamical constraints makes bottom-up and top-down causal relations, including those involving intentional causes, suddenly tractable. A different logic for explaining actions—as historical narrative, not inference—follows if one adopts this novel approach to long-standing questions of action and responsibility.

"This book is aimed at describing clinical features of various kinds of involuntary movements by demonstrating a number of cases on video. All cases presented in this book were directly observed and studied by at least one of the five authors. We will also discuss the current consensus about the classification, pathophysiology and current treatment of each involuntary movement. This book adopts a unique way of looking at movement disorders; that is considering two aspects of the diagnosis, axis 1, the phenomenology and, axis 2, the etiology and/or pathophysiology. The visual appearance (video) is a big part of axis 1"--
