A comparative approach to the neurobiological basis of human will: Kant and al-Ghazali

This study aims to present both the neuroscientific findings on Human Will and its philosophical perspectives from the Civilisations of the West and Islam. It aims to cor-relate the philosophies of the concept Human Will with the Neuroscientific evidences deduced from human brain experiments. The central thesis of this research claims that the Neuroscientific perspectives on the issue of Human Will are compatible with the Human Will concepts of Kant and Al-Ghazali. This compatibility is argued for in order to frame a more informed conversation between Neuroscientists and Philosophers. This argument is contrary to the belief that the findings of Neuroscientific studies are in opposition to the transcendental connotations that are embedded in the works of Kant and Al-Ghazali.
