{"product_id":"9780198036234","title":"Libertarian Accounts of Free Will","description":"This comprehensive study offers a balanced assessment of libertarian accounts of free will. Bringing to bear recent work on action, causation, and causal explanation, Clarke defends a type of event-causal view from popular objections concerning rationality and diminished control. He subtly explores the extent to which event-causal accounts can secure the things for the sake of which we value free will, judging their success here to be limited. Clarke then sets out a highly original agent-causal account, one that integrates agent causation and nondeterministic event causation. He defends this view from a number of objections but argues that we should find the substance causation required by any agent-causal account to be impossible. Clarke concludes that if a broad thesis of incompatibilism is correct--one on which both free will and moral responsibility are incompatible with determinism--then no libertarian account is entirely adequate.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165147119856,"sku":"9780198036234","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198036234_p0.jpg?v=1763665251","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198036234","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
