A major goal for compatibilists is to avoid the luck problem and to
include all the facts from neuroscience and natural science in
general which purportedly show that the brain works in a
law-governed and causal way like any other part of nature.
Libertarians, for their part, want to avoid the manipulation
argument and demonstrate that very common and deep seated
convictions about freedom and responsibility are true: it can
really be fundamentally up to us as agents to determine that the
future should be either A or B. This book presents a theory of free
will which integrates the main motivations of compatibilists and
libertarians, while at the same time avoiding their problems. The
so-called event-causal libertarianism is the libertarian account
closest to compatibilitsm, as it claims there is indeterminism in
the mind of an agent. The charge of compatibilists, however, is
that this position is impaired by the problem of luck. This book is
unique in arguing that free will in a strong sense of the term does
not require indeterminism in the brain, only indeterminism
somewhere in the world which there plausibly is.
