What Does Acting Freely Require? Some Incompatibilist Views

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In Chapters 3 and 4, we considered some arguments for incompatibilism: the Consequence Argument (CA), the Sourcehood Argument (SA), Pereboom’s four-case argument (4CA), and Mele’s zygote argument. My own view is that these arguments are by no means conclusive – far from it – but, of course, not everyone agrees with that assessment. And so we come to incompatibilist views of freedom of the will. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
