Abstract

Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook. There are neuroscientists who claim that our decisions are made unconsciously and are therefore outside of our control and social psychologists who argue that myriad imperceptible factors influence even our minor decisions to the exte

Abstract

Issues of free will and determinism, with their far-reaching practical implications, hold a central place in the history of philosophy. In this book Jordan Howard Sobel looks at the many and varied approaches to this complex topic.The arguments analysed fall into two main groups: those from within the literature of fatalism or logical determinism, claiming that free will is impossible, and those from the field of causal determinism, granting that free will is logically possible but showing that we lack free will owing to certain contingent facts about the world. Sobel considers some problems for decision-making that arise if we grant the possibility that someone may be able to predict reliably what another agent will freely choose. Sobel's careful analysis lays a solid foundation for the study of free will and will interest all who are concerned with fated, determined, and predicted choices and how philosophical reflection about these can puzzle the will.

Abstract

Restorative Free Will examines free will as an adaptive capacity that evolved in humans and many other species, and restores free will to species excluded by claims of human uniqueness. Restorative Free Will recognizes the basic biological value of both libertarian and compatibilist elements of free will, and explains how these traditionally opposed accounts of free will capture an essential element of foraging animals' free will.

Abstract

Sind Freiheit und moralische Verantwortung mit dem kausalen Determinismus vereinbar? Die Debatte über diese Frage scheint in einem Patt zwischen Kompatibilisten und Inkompatibilisten festzustecken. Nach verbreiteter Ansicht zählen zu den wichtigsten neueren Entwicklungen die Abkehr der Kompatibilisten von der Konditionalanalyse von Freiheit und der wachsende Zweifel daran, dass alternative Möglichkeiten Voraussetzung für Verantwortung sind. In diesem Buch wird zu zeigen versucht, dass beide Entwicklungen Irrwege sind und das Patt zugunsten des Kompatibilismus überwunden werden kann. Im ersten Teil wird die Konditionalanalyse modifiziert und gegen Einwände verteidigt. Der zweite Teil argumentiert, dass eine Person genau dann moralisch verantwortlich für ein Ereignis ist, wenn ihr eine bestimmte konditionale Analyse Handlungsspielräume zuschreibt. Diese Spielräume bewirken nämlich, dass der Wille kausale Spuren in Form von Ereignissen hinterlässt, welche Rückschlüsse auf die moralische Qualität der Person ermöglichen. Dass eine Person moralisch verantwortlich für ein Ereignis ist, heißt jedoch genau dies: Sie steht zu ihm in einer kausalen Relation, die es ermöglicht, sie in seinem Lichte moralisch zu beurteilen.
