This is a paperback reprint of a cloth edition published in 1996. Kane explores the significance of recent work about free will for contemporary concerns in ethics, politics, science, and religion, and also defends a "libertarian" conception of free will in a way that responds to contemporary scientific learning.
Kane furnishes his reader with a uniformly illuminating tour through the labyrinths of the free will debate. A careful reader of Kane can return to the philosophical literature with greater understanding and profit. David M. Ciocchi, Philosophia Christi, Vol.1, No.2, 1999
