Freedom and Belief

Autor Galen Strawson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 aug 2010
This is a revised and updated edition of Galen Strawson's groundbreaking first book, where he argues that there is a fundamental sense in which there is no such thing as free will or true moral responsibility (as this is ordinarily understood). This conclusion is very hard to accept. On the whole we continue to believe firmly both that we have free will and that we are truly morally responsible for what we do. Strawson devotes much of the book to an attempt to explain why this is so. He examines various aspects of the 'cognitive phenomenology' of freedom - the nature, causes, and consequences of our deep commitment to belief in freedom. In particular, he considers at length a number of problems that are raised by the suggestion that, if freedom were possible, believing oneself to be a free agent would be a necessary condition of being a free agent.

Recenzii

Review from previous edition An engaging and challenging book that should be studies by anyone commited to the topic of freedom.
A serious and intelligent work, written in an accessible style, on one of the hardest problems there is.
Large, intricately argued and challenging, full of subtle argumentation and intriguing examples...his conclusions are often novel and challenging to philosophical (and non-philosophical) orthodoxy
This is an honest and challenging work, full of subtle arguments and imaginiative examples, and should be read by anyone interested in philosophical problems about human freedom.
