This volume brings together many of the world's leading theorists
of free will and philosophers of law to critically discuss the
ground-breaking contribution of David Hodgson's libertarianism and
its application to philosophy of law. The book begins with a
comprehensive introduction, providing an overview of the
intersection of theories of free will and philosophy of law over
the last fifty years. The eleven chapters collected together divide
into two groups: the first five address libertarianism within the
free will debate, with particular attention to Hodgson's theory,
and in Part II, six contributors discuss Hodgson's libertarianism
in relation to issues not often pursued by free will scholars, such
as mitigation of punishment, the responsibility of judges, the
nature of judicial reasoning and the criminal law process more
generally. Thus the volume's importance lies not only in examining
Hodgson's distinctive libertarian theory from within the free will
literature, but also in considering new directions for research in
applying that theory to enduring questions about legal
responsibility and punishment.
