Contemporary debates on free will are numerous and multifaceted.
According to compatibilists, it is possible for an agent to be
determined in all her choices and actions and still be free.
Incompatibilists, on the other hand, think that the existence of
free will is incompatible with the truth of determinism. There are
also two dominant conceptions of the nature of free will. According
to the first, it is primarily a function of being able to do
otherwise than one in fact does. The second approach focuses on
issues of sourcehood, holding that free will is primarily a
function of an agent being the source of her actions in a
particular way. This book guides the student through all these
debates, demarcating the different conceptions of free will,
exploring the relationships between them, and examining how they
relate to the debate between compatibilists and incompatibilists.
In the process, it addresses a number of other views, including
revisionism and free will scepticism. This is the ideal
introduction to the contemporary debates for students at all
levels.
