Description

A lively debate about free will, its interactions with determinism and indeterminism, and whether we have it or not, is presented in this revised and updated volume. Four prominent philosophers - John Martin Fischer, Robert Kane, Derk Pereboom, and Manuel Vargas - engage in a balanced discussion on the subject.

The book explores four major positions in the free will debate: libertarianism, compatibilism, hard incompatibilism, and revisionism. The authors defend their distinctive views and respond to recent critical literature in the field, offering insights into how their perspectives have evolved over time.
