Precis of Free Will’s Value: Criminal Justice, Pride, and Love

  • John Lemos

摘要

This essay gives a summary account of the central theses in my recent book, Free Will’s Value: Criminal Justice, Pride, and Love (Routledge, 2023). The book defends a particular version of libertarian free will, what I call “the indeterministic weightings view.” This view is similar to Robert Kane’s libertarian view. It is argued that (a) it is a coherent view that fits with scientific naturalism and (b) while we lack sufficient evidentiary grounds to believe we have such free will, there are nonetheless sufficient axiological reasons to believe, or at least live and act as if, we have such free will.
