About This Book
This little book is a readable account of the philosophical controversy regarding freedom of the will. Some say our will is not free, but the author asserts that it is and offers suggestions for how best to employ it.
After defining what the term “free will” means, the book considers a number of topics: what it really amounts to in practice, whether the world is determined or not, recent research in brain science, the difference between objects and agents, the role of self-awareness and more. It ends with practical advice about how we can effectively use our free will and to what end. It considers an important philosophical topic in terms that non-philosophers can easily understand.
