Questions concerning free will are intertwined with issues in
almost every area of philosophy, from metaphysics to philosophy of
mind to moral philosophy, and are also informed by work in
different areas of science (principally physics, neuroscience and
social psychology). Free will is also a perennial concern of
serious thinkers in theology and in non-western traditions. Because
free will can be approached from so many different perspectives and
has implications for so many debates, a comprehensive survey needs
to encompass an enormous range of approaches. This book is the
first to draw together leading experts on every aspect of free
will, from those who are central to the current philosophical
debates, to non-western perspectives, to scientific contributions
and to those who know the rich history of the subject. Chapter 37
of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF
