According to the libertarian position on free will, people
sometimes exercise free will, but this freedom is incompatible with
the truth of causal determinism. Frequently maligned within the
history of philosophy, this view has recently gained increasingly
sympathetic attention among philosophers. But stark questions
remain: How plausible is this view? If our actions are not causally
determined, how can we have control over them? Why should we want
our actions to be breaks in the deterministic causal chain?
The recent resurgence of interest in libertarianism is due, most
significantly, to Robert Kane, who is the leading contemporary
defender of this view of free will. This book is a collection of
new essays on the libertarian position on free will and related
issues that focuses specifically on the views of Kane. Written by a
distinguished group of philosophers, the essays cover various areas
of philosophy including metaphysics, ethics, and philosophy of
mind. Kane contributes a final essay, replying to the criticisms
offered in the previous chapters and developing his view in new
directions.
