Book excerpt: The problem of freedom and determinism is one of the most enduring, and one of the best, problems in philosophy. One of the best because it so tenaciously resists solution while yet always seeming urgent, and one of the most enduring because it has always been able to present itself in different ways to suit the preoccupations of different ages. This book, first published in 1980, sets out to defend free will: it elaborates a sober and systematic case for libertarianism in the face of the overwhelming threat that is posed by the scientific study of the brain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Theologie - Sonstiges, Note: 2,60, Universität Salzburg (Systematische Theologie), Veranstaltung: PROBLEME DER FUNDAMENTALTHEOLOGIE (MATERIALPROBEN ZUR RATIONALITÄT DES GLAUBENS), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Seminararbeit bezieht sich auf die Lehrveranstaltung (LV) „Probleme der Fundamentaltheologie - Materialproben zur Rationalität des Glaubens“, abgehalten im Sommersemester 2015 an der Universität Salzburg und thematisiert einen zentralen Aspekt der so genannten Theodizee-Frage. Gemeint ist die Frage nach der Rechtfertigung des Glaubens an einen guten, allmächtigen und allwissenden Gott angesichts offensichtlich sinnlosen Leids in der Welt. Sie ist eine zentrale Frage-Stellung des theologischen Diskurses insgesamt, im Speziellen jedoch auch der Fundamental-Theologie. Die vorliegende Seminararbeit widmet sich einem Haupt-Argument zur Belegung der Widerspruchsfreiheit des Gottglaubens, dem „Argument auf Basis der Willensfreiheit des Menschen“, der so genannten free will defense. Ziel ist es dabei, sowohl die Widerspruchsfreiheit des Gottglaubens zu belegen, als auch die Plausibilität der Annahme von Gottes Existenz, zu argumentieren. Aufgrund der Komplexität und des Umfangs der Thematik kann in der vorliegenden Arbeit nur ein grober Überblick bzw. ein Auszug, gegeben werden. Sie kann keineswegs den Anspruch erheben, das Thema erschöpfend und vollständig zu behandeln. Die Argumentation stützt sich im Wesentlichen auf die Ausführungen im Buch „Theodizee“ von Klaus von Stosch, dessen Lektüre auch wesentlicher Inhalt der schon erwähnten LV war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and engaging debate between four representative views on free will, completely revised and updated with new perspectives Four Views on Free Will is a robust and careful debate about free will, how it interacts with determinism and indeterminism, and whether we have it or not. Providing the most up-to-date account of four major positions in the free will debate, the second edition of this classic text presents the opposing perspectives of renowned philosophers John Martin Fischer, Robert Kane, Derk Pereboom, and Manuel Vargas. Substantially revised throughout, this new volume contains eight in-depth chapters, almost entirely rewritten for the new edition, in which the authors state their different positions on the debate, offer insights into how their views have evolved over the past fifteen years, respond to recent critical literature in the field, and interact and engage with each other in dialogue. In the first four chapters the authors defend their distinctive views about free will: libertarianism, compatibilism, hard incompatibilism, and revisionism. The subsequent four chapters consist of direct replies by each of the authors to the other three. Offering a one-of-a-kind interactive conversation about the most recent work on the subject, Four Views on Free Will, Second Edition provides a balanced and enlightening discussion on all the key concepts and conflicts in the free will debate. Part of the acclaimed Great Debates in Philosophy series, it remains essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, lecturers and scholars in philosophy, ethics, free will, philosophy of mind, political philosophy, law, and related subjects.

Download or read book Free Will written by Michael McKenna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an advanced introduction to the challenging topic of free will, this book is designed for upper-level undergraduates interested in a comprehensive first-stop into the field’s issues and debates. It is written by two of the leading participants in those debates—a compatibilist on the issue of free will and determinism (Michael McKenna) and an incompatibilist (Derk Pereboom). These two authors achieve an admirable objectivity and clarity while still illuminating the field’s complexity and key advances. Each chapter is structured to work as one week’s primary reading in a course on free will, while more advanced courses can dip into the annotated further readings, suggested at the end of each chapter. A comprehensive bibliography as well as detailed subject and author indexes are included at the back of the book.

Download or read book Why Free Will Is Real written by Christian List and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A crystal-clear, scientifically rigorous argument for the existence of free will, challenging what many scientists and scientifically minded philosophers believe. Philosophers have argued about the nature and the very existence of free will for centuries. Today, many scientists and scientifically minded commentators are skeptical that it exists, especially when it is understood to require the ability to choose between alternative possibilities. If the laws of physics govern everything that happens, they argue, then how can our choices be free? Believers in free will must be misled by habit, sentiment, or religious doctrine. Why Free Will Is Real defies scientific orthodoxy and presents a bold new defense of free will in the same naturalistic terms that are usually deployed against it. Unlike those who defend free will by giving up the idea that it requires alternative possibilities to choose from, Christian List retains this idea as central, resisting the tendency to defend free will by watering it down. He concedes that free will and its prerequisites—intentional agency, alternative possibilities, and causal control over our actions—cannot be found among the fundamental physical features of the natural world. But, he argues, that’s not where we should be looking. Free will is a “higher-level” phenomenon found at the level of psychology. It is like other phenomena that emerge from physical processes but are autonomous from them and not best understood in fundamental physical terms—like an ecosystem or the economy. When we discover it in its proper context, acknowledging that free will is real is not just scientifically respectable; it is indispensable for explaining our world.

Book excerpt: "This book defends an event-causal theory of libertarian free will and argues that the belief in such free will plays an important, if not essential, role in supporting certain important values. In the first part of the book, the author argues that possession of libertarian free will is necessary for deserved praise and blame and reward and punishment. He contends that his version of libertarian free will-the indeterministic weightings view- is coherent and can fit with a scientific, naturalistic understanding of human nature. However, the author also notes that we don't have sufficient evidentiary grounds to believe that human beings have this kind of free will. Despite this, he argues there are sufficiently strong value-based/axiological reasons to believe we have such free will and to live an act as if we have it. In the second part of the book, the author makes the case that the belief in such libertarian, desert-grounding free will is very important to defending human dignity in the context of criminal justice, making sense of justified pride and its value, and adding value to our relationships. Free Will's Value will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, action theory, ethics, and the philosophy of law"--
