Recenzii
This book is carefully argued, richly informed by the relevant work of others, and philosophically rigorous. At its heart is an ancient and venerable view: responsibility requires that we have free will, understood as entailing that, given the past and the laws, we have dual control over our actions and omissions. This libertarian view is adeptly supported by scrupulous argument. The book will be of significant interest to all interested in free will, moral responsibility, and agency reductionism.
This book is a thoughtful, detailed defense of a particular "event-causal" view of free will and moral responsibility that is incompatible with determinism in short, an event-causal libertarian view. Franklin's "minimal event-causal" view is a worthy competitor to "agent-causal" and "non-causal" libertarian views. And even if compatibilism is true, Franklin's view, or something in its vicinity, might characterize an important range of free actions of actual human beings.
