This is a revised and updated edition of Galen Strawson's
groundbreaking first book, where he argues that there is a
fundamental sense in which there is no such thing as free will or
true moral responsibility (as this is ordinarily understood). This
conclusion is very hard to accept. On the whole we continue to
believe firmly both that we have free will and that we are truly
morally responsible for what we do. Strawson devotes much of the
book to an attempt to explain why this is so. He examines various
aspects of the 'cognitive phenomenology' of freedom - the nature,
causes, and consequences of our deep commitment to belief in
freedom. In particular, he considers at length a number of problems
that are raised by the suggestion that, if freedom were possible,
believing oneself to be a free agent would be a necessary condition
of being a free agent.
