Freedom from Necessity

The Metaphysical Basis of Responsibility

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book, first published in 1987, is about the classic free will problem, construed in terms of the implications of moral responsibility. The principal thesis is that the core issue is metaphysical: can scientific laws postulate objectively necessary connections between an action and its causal antecedents? The author concludes they cannot.
