Free will

A unique anthology which features contributions to the dispute over free will from both historical and twentieth-century sources, Pereboom's volume presents the most thoughtful positions taken thus far in this crucial and difficult debate, as well as discussions of the consequences of these positions for free will's traditional corollary, moral responsibility. Hackett Readings in Philosophy is a versatile series of compact anthologies, each devoted to a topic of traditional interest. Selections include classical, modern, and contemporary writings, chosen for their elegance of exposition and their consistent ability to stimulate thought and discussion.
