Synopsis
The issue of whether humans are free to make their own decisions has long been debated, and it continues to be controversial today. In Free Will: The Basics Meghan Griffith provides a clear and accessible introduction to this important but challenging philosophical problem. She addresses the questions central to the topic including:
- Does free will exist, or is it illusory?
- Can we be free even if everything is determined by a chain of causes? If our actions are not determined, does this mean they are just random or a matter of luck?
- In order to have the kind of freedom required for moral responsibility, must we have alternatives?
- What can recent developments in science tell us about the existence of free will?
These questions are discussed without prejudicing one view over others, and all technical terminology is clearly explained.
This second edition has been revised and updated throughout, with the addition of new sections on dispositionalism, free will as self-organization, and situationism in psychology. Up-to-date suggestions for further reading and a glossary are also included, making Free Will: The Basics an ideal introduction for anyone coming to the subject for the first time.
