FREE WILL
The question of whether humans are free to make their own decisions has long been contested and it continues to be a controversial topic today. Free Will: The Basics provides readers with a clear and accessible introduction to this central philosophical debate. It examines key questions such as:
Does free will exist or is it an illusion?
Is it possible to have free will if everything is determined?
Can moral responsibility exist without free will?
What can recent developments in science tell us about the existence of free will?
With detailed examples, a glossary of key terms, and suggestions for further study, Free Will: The Basics addresses the key debates without prejudice and is an essential read for anyone wishing to explore this challenging and philosophical problem.
Meghan Griffith is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Davidson College, USA. She specializes in free will and action theory.

This is an absolutely wonderful introductory book on the issues surrounding the very lively debates about free will and moral responsibility. This area of philosophy has been extremely active in the last two or three decades, and Griffith presents the basics in a clear and accessible way. The author has a gift for getting right to the heart of the issues. I highly recommend this book.
John Martin Fischer, University of California Riverside, USA
Free Will: The Basics is an excellent introduction to free will. Griffith's writing is lucid and engaging. She instructively surveys the major philosophical theories, controversies, and arguments about free while keeping in view for her readers the relevance of her important topic to their lives.
