What is the place of human free will in our lives if all our
actions are the result of some other cause? Does our processing
unconscious beliefs or desires make us less free? Is our free will
necessarily restricted if we do not choose our own beliefs?
The debate between free will and its opposing doctrine,
determinism, is one of the key issues in philosophy. Free Will: An
historical and philosophical introduction provides a comprehensive
introduction to this highly important question and examines the
contributions made by sixteen of the most outstanding thinkers from
the time of early Greece to the twentieth century:
*Homer *Sophocles *Platto *Aristotle *St Augustine *St Thomas
Aquinas *Descaartes *Spinoza *Hume *Kant *Schopehauer *Freud
*Sartre *Weil *Wittgenstein *Moore
Ilham Dilman brings together all the dimensions of the problem of
free will with examples from literature, ethics and psychoanalysis.
Drawing out valuable insights from both sides of the free
will-determinism divide, and he provides an accessible and highly
readable introduction to this perennial problem.
