This book employs Heidegger's work of the 1920s and early 1930s to
develop distinctively Heideggerian accounts of agency, freedom, and
responsibility, making the case that Heidegger's thought provides a
compelling alternative to the mainstream philosophical accounts of
these concepts. Hans Pedersen demonstrates that Heidegger's thought
can be fruitfully used to develop a plausible alternative
understanding of agency that then avoids the main problems of the
standard free will debate. Part I is dedicated to working out a
general Heideggerian conception of agency, specifically focusing on
the roles of causality, mental states, and deliberation in human
agency. In Part II, based on the account of agency worked out in
Part I, Pedersen develops Heideggerian accounts of freedom and
responsibility that are not based on the causal efficacy of
explicit mental states in human action, thereby avoiding the
conflict between free will and determinism that gives rise to the
standard philosophical debate over free will.
