Zusammenfassung

Providing a different treatment of the various libertarian theories that do not appeal to agent causation, the author talks about his own theory of causation. He defends a type of event-causal view from popular objections concerning rationality and diminished control, exploring the extent to which event-causal accounts can secure the things.

Libertarian Accounts of Free Will Zusammenfassung

Libertarian Accounts of Free Will Randolph Clarke (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University of Georgia)

This comprehensive study offers a balanced assessment of libertarian accounts of free will. Bringing to bear recent work on action, causation, and causal explanation, Clarke defends a type of event-causal view from popular objections concerning rationality and diminished control. He subtly explores the extent to which event-causal accounts can secure the things for the sake of which we value free will, judging their success here to be limited. Clarke then sets out a highly original agent-causal account, one that integrates agent causation and nondeterministic event causation. He defends this view from a number of objections but argues that we should find the substance causation required by any agent-causal account to be impossible. Clarke concludes that if a broad thesis of incompatibilism is correct-one on which both free will and moral responsibility are incompatible with determinism-then no libertarian account is entirely adequate.

Libertarian Accounts of Free Will Bewertungen

Clarke's book marks a leap forward in our understanding of all the various forms of incompatibilism. * Gideon Yaffe, The Journal of Ethics *
