The Metaphysics of Free Will

Cover of Timothy O'Connor: Persons and Causes (PDF)

This provocative book refurbishes the traditional account of freedom of will as reasons-guided "agent" causation, situating its account within a general metaphysics. O’Connor’s discussion of the general concept of causation and of ontological reductionism v. emergence will specially interest metaphysicians and philosophers of mind.
