James A. Harris

Of Liberty and Necessity

The Free Will Debate in Eighteenth-Century British Philosophy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first full account of 18th-century discussion of a central problem of philosophy, the question of the freedom of the will. Harris offers new interpretations of contributions to the free will debate made by canonical figures such as Locke, Hume, Edwards, and Reid, and also discusses in detail the arguments of some less familiar writers.
