Over the last three decades there has been a tremendous amount of
philosophical work in the Anglo-American tradition on the cluster
of topics pertaining to Free Will. Of course, this work has in many
instances built on and extended the historical treatments of this
great area of philosophical interest. The issues range from fairly
abstract philosophical questions about the logic of arguments about
human freedom (and its relationship to prior predictability of our
choices and actions, or God's foreknowledge, or causal determinism
and scientific explanation) to more concrete practical questions
about legal and criminal accountability.
The contemporary work has in some instances been in the form of
lively debates between proponents of different viewpoints, and the
literature is characterized by a genuine vitality. Work has
appeared in a wide variety of different places: academic and (and
even trade) monographs, anthologies, philosophical and legal
academic journals, and conference proceedings. This collection
selects the very best of this material and presents it in a single,
accessible set of volumes.
