TEXTBOOK


Product Description

The new edition of this highly successful text will once again provide the ideal introduction to free will. This volume brings together some of the most influential contributions to the topic of free will during the past 50 years, as well as some notable recent work. Topics explored in this collection include: the relation between necessity, acting freely, and freedom to act otherwise; different accounts of the capacity for free agency, and the ways in which it can be compromised; grounds for scepticism about free agency and discussions of the relation between free will and responsibility.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
1. The metaphysical problem of human freedom might be summarized in the following way: Human beings are responsible agents; but this fact appears to conflict with a deterministic view of human action (the view that every event that is involved in an act is caused by some other event); and it also appears to conflict with an deterministic view of human action (the view that the act, or some event that is essential to the act, is not caused at all.) Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent book with insight and originality..., 10 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This is really worth a look for anybody interested in the topic, and has some fascinating elements - the contribution from Dennett is indespensible.
