Summary:	In exploring whether our neuroscientific discoveries are consistent with the idea we are voluntary agents, this text presents a neuroscientifically-informed emergentist account of human agency. In contrast with the assumptions that currently shape neuropsychological research on voluntary agency, J.D. Runyan presents a broadly-conceived Aristotelian account of voluntary agency grounded in our everyday thought about our conduct.
