商品簡介
"An engagingly written and thought-provoking introduction to the free will problem, full of innovative examples and arguments; and at the same time an original defense of a distinctive libertarian view of free will." Robert Kane, University Distinguished Teaching Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, the University of Texas at Austin, USA
"Stimulating and engaging. The standard ground is covered, but with regular original touches---and, if perplexity is not removed altogether by Mawson's common sense defence of an agent-causalist libertarianism, at least it will be a perplexity better understood." John Bishop, Professor of Philosophy, the University of Auckland, Australia
In everyday life, we often suppose ourselves to be free to choose between several courses of action. But if we examine further, we find that this view seems to rest on metaphysical and meta-ethical presuppositions almost all of which look problematic.
How can we be free if everything is determined by factors beyond our control, stretching back in time to the Big Bang and the laws of nature operating then? The only alternative to determinism is indeterminism, but is not indeterminism just there being a certain amount of randomness in the world? Does not randomness hinder you from being the author of your actions? This book looks at how much of the structure of our everyday judgments can survive the arguments behind such questions and thoughts. In essence, it seeks to understand and answer the age-old question, `What is free will and do we have it?'
