| Opplysninger | First published in 1980 by Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd.. - part I Introduction -- chapter 1 Varieties Of Freedom -- chapter 2 Varieties Of Detenninism -- chapter 3 Formal Matters -- chapter II On The Dispute Between Compatibilists And Incompatibilists -- chapter III The Correlation Thesis -- chapter IV Three Problems For The Libertarian -- chapter V Hegemony -- chapter VI The Random And The Free -- chapter VII Paralipomena.. - "The problem of freedom and determinism is one of the most enduring, and one of the best, problems in philosophy. One of the best because it so tenaciously resists solution while yet always seeming urgent, and one of the most enduring because it has always been able to present itself in different ways to suit the preoccupations of different ages. This book, first published in 1980, sets out to defend free will: it elaborates a sober and systematic case for libertarianism in the face of the overwhelming threat that is posed by the scientific study of the brain."--Provided by publisher.
