This second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Free Will is intended
to be a sourcebook and guide to current work on free will and
related subjects. Its focus is on writings of the past forty years,
in which there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional
issues about the freedom of the will in the light of new
developments in the sciences, philosophy and humanistic studies.
Special attention is given to research on free will of the first
decade of the twenty-first century since the publication of the
first edition of the Handbook. All the essays have been newly
written or rewritten for this volume. In addition, there are new
essayists and essays surveying topics that have become prominent in
debates about free will in the past decade, including new work on
the relation of free will to physics, the neurosciences, cognitive
science, psychology and empirical philosophy, new versions of
traditional views (compatibilist, incompatibilist, libertarian,
etc.) and new views (e.g., revisionism) that have emerged. The
twenty-eight essays by prominent international scholars and younger
scholars cover a host of free will related issues, such as moral
agency and responsibility, accountability and blameworthiness in
ethics, autonomy, coercion and control in social theory, criminal
liability, responsibility and punishment in legal theory, issues
about the relation of mind to body, consciousness and the nature of
action in philosophy of mind and the cognitive and neurosciences,
questions about divine foreknowledge, providence and human freedom
in philosophy of religion, and general metaphysical questions about
necessity and possibility, determinism, time and chance, quantum
reality, causation and explanation.
