An Essay on Free Will

"This is an important book, and no one interested in issues which touch on the free will will want to ignore it."--Ethics. In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, the author defends the thesis that free will is incompatible with determinism. He disputes the view that determinism is necessary for moral responsbility. Finding no good reason for accepting determinism, but believing moral responsiblity to be indubitable, he concludes that determinism should be rejected.Van Inwagen, Peter is the author of 'An Essay on Free Will', published 1983 under ISBN 9780198246244 and ISBN 0198246242.
