Bound: Essays on free will and responsibility
Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (2015)
Abstract
Shaun Nichols offers a naturalistic, psychological account of the origins of the problem of free will. He argues that our belief in indeterminist choice is grounded in faulty inference and therefore unjustified, goes on to suggest that there is no single answer to whether free will exists, and promotes a pragmatic approach to prescriptive issues.Author's Profile
