User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is an excellent introduction to the contemporary philosophical debate about free will, but at quite a high level. It starts off gently, but much of the book is rather demanding. This is obviously intended, because the book is part of a series by Palgrave that is destined for “philosophers, established and aspiring”. Helen Beebee is a highly respected professor of philosophy who has published papers on free will, causation and related topics. Her text is readable, clear, up-to-date, interesting and even-handed, although she does not conceal her own preference for compatibilism. She concentrates on the modern debate and deals with the major positions with great clarity. However, two-stage models of free will are not dealt with, Cartesian dualism gets only a brief mention, and there are only two pages on the implications of neuroscience for the free will debate. The book includes an index and a bibliography. I strongly recommend it for those who are ready to grapple with detailed arguments.
