?Four Views on Free Will serves as an excellent introduction to many of the central issues in the contemporary free will and moral responsibility literature. It is very readable; the chapters are approachable for advanced undergraduates or graduate students, and it has a very helpful and thorough index for cross-referencing topics between the various chapters.? (Social Theory and Practice, April 2009)
?The four main essays are clearly written and argued, and the shorter articles are very useful as illustrations of how philosophers debate. Highly recommended.? (Choice Reviews)
"There is no better introduction to the debate available. This is a book that will be read with profit by anyone who opens it, specialist or newcomer."–Neil Levy, Metapsychology Online Reviews
"Four Views on Free Will is an excellent introduction to
the current debate regarding one of the most seductive of the
perennial topics in philosophy. It is an especially welcome
addition to Blackwell's "Great Debates in Philosophy" series. The
goal is the presentation of a considerably more dialogical and
engaging introduction to the main issues in an important domain of
philosophical inquiry than can typically be achieved in a standard
monograph. Four Views succeeds admirably in achieving this
worthwhile goal."
–Daniel Speak, Notre Dame Philosophical
Reviews
"This gem of a book provides a wonderfully accessible
introduction to the free will debate by leading proponents of four
major views, as well as a front row seat to a dynamic, up-to-the
minute philosophical conversation."
–Dana Nelkin, University of California at San
Diego
"This four-way debate is a fine addition to the Great Debates in
Philosophy series. Four Views on Free Will is ideal for advanced
undergraduate courses on free will."
–Alfred R. Mele, Florida State University
