This book brings together twelve original contributions by leading
scholars on the much-debated issues of what is free will and how
can we exercise it in a world governed by laws of nature. Which
conception of laws of nature best fits with how we conceive of free
will? And which constraints does our conception of the laws of
nature place on how we think of free will? The metaphysics of
causation and the metaphysics of dispositions are also explored in
this edited volume, in relation to whether they may or may not be
game-changers in how we think about both free will and the laws of
nature. The volume presents the views of a range of international
experts on these issues, and aims at providing the reader with
novel approaches to a core problem in philosophy. The target
audience is composed by academics and scholars who are interested
in an original and contemporary approach to these long-debated
issues. Chapters [2] and [4] are available open access under
