Assuming no familiarity with the philosophical literature on free will, each chapter describes a case, explains the questions that it raises, briefly summarizes some of the key responses to the case, and provides a list of suggested readings. Every chapter is accessible, succinct, and self-contained. The puzzles are divided into five broad categories: the threat from fatalism, the threat from determinism, practical reason, social dimensions, and moral luck. Entries cover topics such as the grandfather paradox, theological fatalism, the consequence argument, manipulation arguments, luck arguments, weakness of will, action explanation, addiction, blame and punishment, situationism in moral psychology, and Huckleberry Finn. \u003ci\u003eFree Will and Human Agency \u003c\/i\u003eis an effective and engaging teaching tool as well as a handy resource for anyone interested in exploring the questions that have made human agency a topic of perennial philosophical interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThough concise overall, offers broad coverage of the key areas of free will and human agency.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes each imaginative case directly and in a memorable way, making the cases accessible and easy to remember.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a list of suggested readings for each case.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garrett Pendergraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367641941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367641948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.58d","brand":"Garrett Pendergraft","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072272560383,"sku":"9780367641948","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_875d8a48-f115-4e75-87fe-56916dcdebad.jpg?v=1685440968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/free-will-and-human-agency-garrett-pendergraft-9780367641948","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
