Aspects of Agency: Decisions, Abilities, Explanations, and Free Will
De (autor) Alfred R. Meleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 Jun 2017
on this negative thesis, Aspects of Agency develops a detailed version of the positive thesis that represents paradigmatically free actions as indeterministically caused by their proximal causes and pays special attention to decisions so instigated. The bulk of Mele's work is a masterful defense of
a positive libertarian thesis against objections to theses of its kind. Aspects of Agency includes solutions to problems about luck and control that are widely discussed in the literature on free will and moral responsibility. The seven chapters on free will are preceded by an introductory chapter
and three chapters on central issues in the philosophy of action that bear on standard treatments of free will: deciding to act, agents' abilities, and commitments of a causal theory of action explanation.

Recenzii
Al
Mele's
impressive
new
book
features
his
most
recent
contributions
to
the
philosophy
of
agency
and
free
will.
Several
of
the
early
chapters
set
out
the
key
notions
in
philosophy
of
action
relevant
to
the
free
will
debate,
and
they
do
so
with
unsurpassed
lucidity.
Participants
in
the
free
will
debate
will
find
this
material
valuable
for
clarifying
their
own
thinking
and
writing...
the
book
as
a
whole
is
another
excellent
contribution
of
Mele's
to
our
understandingof
agency
and
free
will.
