Peter van Inwagen, author of the classic book An Essay on Free Will (1983), has established himself over the last forty years as a leading figure in the philosophical debate about the problem of free will. This volume presents eleven influential essays from throughout his career, as well as two new and previously unpublished essays, 'The Problem of Fr** W*ll' and 'Ability'. The essays include discussions of determinism, moral responsibility, 'Frankfurt counterexamples', the meaning of 'the ability to do otherwise', and the very definition of free will, as well as critiques of writings on the topic by Daniel Dennett and David Lewis. An introduction by the author discusses the history of his thinking about free will. The volume will be a valuable resource for those looking to engage with van Inwagen's significant contributions to this perennially important topic.

Central to the teachings of Christianity is a puzzle: on the one hand, sin seems something that humans do not do freely and so cannot be not responsible for, since it is unavoidable; on the other hand, sin seems something that we must be responsible for and so do freely, since we are enjoined to repent of it, and since it makes us liable to divine condemnation and forgiveness. After laying out the puzzle in more depth, this Element considers three possible responses—libertarian, soft determinist, and free-will skeptic—and weighs the costs and benefits of each.

In his treatise Freedom of the will Jonathan Edwards addresses the human will and God's sovereignty. His thesis is that moral responsibility is not inconsistent with God's determining disposal of all events of every kind. He contends that while man is indeed free, God is still sovereign and still solely responsible for man's salvation. In the present book the author also seeks to reconcile foreknowledge of God with the liberty of will in humans and builds upon Edwards' treatise to do so.

"The doctrine of the Will is a cardinal doctrine of theology, as well as of mental philosophy. This doctrine, to say the least, is one of the great central points, from which the various different and conflicting systems of theological, mental, and moral science, take their departure"--Book.

To reconcile the decrees of God with the free agency of man, is a subject which has received the attention of metaphysicians in different ages of the world: sometimes they have denied the decrees, or explained them as conditional; and sometimes they have denied free agency, or explained it, so as to be no agency at all. The author of this book attempts to to prove that man is a free agent, free, in willing, as well as in doing what he wills; and that this freedom is consistent with the absolute, and eternal decrees of God respecting him. The author has takes a different view of man from what has been taken, and one, which he believes, is more agreeable to nature: he considers, that the human mind has two powers, called the Understanding and the Will. Understanding is the passive power of the mind, and the will is the active power, and the mind always wills with liberty or freedom. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved).
