Description

This debate explores one of philosophy's most enduring questions: do we have free will? Robert Kane and Carolina Sartorio present two distinct perspectives on this issue, introducing readers to libertarianism and compatibilism. The authors engage in a lively discussion, covering topics such as blameworthiness, responsibility, coercion, and control.

The book offers an accessible introduction to the traditional free will problem, along with cutting-edge contributions from prominent scholars. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments, section summaries, bolded key terms and principles, a glossary, and annotated reading lists. This engaging format makes it easy for students and general readers alike to engage with complex concepts.

With its concise and lively style, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the free will debate. By presenting two sides of the argument, Kane and Sartorio demonstrate the relevance and vitality of this philosophical problem.
