Introduction : reviving a sociology of willing selves / Sabine Maasen, Barbara Sutter -- Self, past and present -- Self-help : the making of neoscocial selves in neoliberal society / Sabine Maasen, Barbara Sutter and Stefanie Duttweiler -- Technologies of the will and their Christian roots / Alois Hahn, Marâen Schorch -- Self and (socio-)scientific knowledge -- Governing the will in a neurochemical age / Nikolas Rose --The person as an effect of communication / Armin Nassehi -- Self and politics -- Creating citizen-consumers? public service reform and (un)willing selves / John Clarke, Janet Newman, Louise Westmarland -- Neopolitics : voluntary action in the new regieme / Barbara Cruikshank -- 'Craving' research : smart drugs and the elusiveness of desire / Mariana Valverde -- Self and morality -- From voluntary to relational action : responsibility in question / Kenneth J. Gergen-- The role of the self-model for self-determination / Tillmann Vierkant.

Postmodern theories heralded the "death of the subject", and therebydeeply contested our intuition that we are free and willing selves. Inrecent times, the (free) will has come under attack yetagain. Findings from the neuro- and cognitive sciences claim the concept of will to be scientifically untenable, specifying that it is our brain rather thanour 'self' which decides what we want to do.In spite of these challenges however, the willing self has come to take centre stage in our society:juridical and moral practices ascribing guilt, or the organizationof everyday life attributing responsibilities, for instance, can hardly be understood without taking recourse to the willing subject.In thisvein, the authors address topics such as the genealogy of the concept of willing selves, thediscourse on agency in neuroscience and sociology, the political debate on volition within neoliberal and neoconservative regimes, approaches toward novel forms of relational responsibility as wellasmoral evaluations in conceptualizing autonomy.
