Free Will

Description

"The question of whether humans are free to make their own decisions has long been debated and it continues to be a controversial topic today. In Free Will: The Basics readers are provided with a clear and accessible introduction to this central but challenging philosophical problem. The questions which are discussed include: <ul> <li>Does free will exist? Or is it illusory?</li> <li>Without free will do we have responsibility for our actions?</li> <li>Does the existence of free will explain why God permits suffering?</li> <li>What can recent developments in science tell us about the existence of free will?</li> Because these questions are discussed without prejudicing one view over others and all technical terminology is clearly explained, this book is an ideal introduction to free will for the uninitiated."--Publisher's description.
