Produktbeschreibung
Freedom of the Will is a philosophical work written by William Taylor and originally published in 1881. The book explores the concept of free will, which is the ability of an individual to make choices that are not predetermined by external factors. Taylor argues that free will is a fundamental aspect of human nature and that it is essential for moral responsibility and accountability. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which delves into a different aspect of the free will debate. Taylor begins by discussing the historical and philosophical origins of the concept of free will, tracing its development from ancient Greek philosophy to modern times. He then explores the different arguments for and against free will, including determinism, compatibilism, and libertarianism. Throughout the book, Taylor engages with a wide range of philosophical and theological perspectives, drawing on the works of thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and Augustine of Hippo. He also addresses some of the practical implications of the free will debate, such as the role of free will in criminal justice and the nature of moral responsibility. Overall, Freedom of the Will is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of human agency and the relationship between free will and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
