A companion volume to "Free Will: A Philosophical Study," this new
anthology collects influential essays on free will, including both
well-known contemporary classics and exciting recent work. "Agency
and Responsibility: Essays on the Metaphysics of Freedom" is
divided into three parts. The essays in the first section address
metaphysical issues concerning free will and causal determinism.
The second section groups papers presenting a positive account of
the nature of free action, including competing compatibilist and
incompatibilist analyses. The third section concerns free will and
moral responsibility, including theories of moral responsibility
and the challenge to an alternative possibilities condition posed
by Frankurt-type scenarios. Distinguished by its balance and
consistently high quality, the volume presents papers selected for
their significance, innovation, and clarity of expression.
Contributors include Harry Frankfurt, Peter van Inwagen, David
Lewis, Elizabeth Anscombe, John Martin Fischer, Michael Bratman,
Roderick Chisholm, Robert Kane, Peter Strawson, and Susan Wolf. The
anthology serves as an up-to-date resource for scholars as well as
a useful text for courses in ethics, philosophy of religion, or
metaphysics. In addition, paired with Free Will: A Philosophical
Study, it would form an excellent upper-level undergraduate or
graduate-level course in free will, responsibility, motivation, or
action theory.
