Description

Free Will: The Basics by Meghan Griffith provides a clear and accessible introduction to this important philosophical problem. The debate over human free will has long been contentious, with questions such as whether it exists or is an illusion, and what implications this has for moral responsibility. Griffith addresses these central issues without taking a stance, explaining technical terminology clearly. Recent developments in science are also discussed, shedding new light on the existence of free will. This second edition has been revised and updated, with additional sections on dispositionalism, free will as self-organization, and situationism in psychology. Ideal for anyone approaching the subject for the first time, Free Will: The Basics offers a comprehensive overview of this complex topic, accompanied by suggestions for further reading and a glossary.
