Epistemology of Decision 
Rational Choice, Neuroscience and Biological Approaches

This book carries out an epistemological analysis of the decision, including a critical analysis through the continuous reference to an interdisciplinary approach including a synthesis of philosophical approaches, biology and neuroscience. Besides this it represents the analysis of causality here seen not from the formal point of view, but from the ‘embodied’ point of view. ​
