Do We Have Free Will? A Debate

Do We Have Free Will? A Debate

In this little but profound volume Robert Kane and Carolina Sartorio debate a perennial question: Do We Have Free Will? Kane introduces and defends libertarianism about free will: free will is incompatible with determinism; we are free; we are not determined. Sartorio introduces and defends compatibilism about free will: free will is compatible with determinism; we can be free even while our actions are determined through and through. Simplifying tricky terminology and complicated concepts for readers new to the debate the authors also cover the latest developments on a controversial topic that gets us entangled in questions about blameworthiness and responsibility coercion and control and much more. Each author first presents their own side and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments section summaries bolded key terms and principles a glossary and annotated reading lists. Short lively and accessible the debate showcases diverse and cutting-edge work on free will. As per Saul Smilansky’s foreword Kane and Sartorio present the readers with two things at once: an introduction to the traditional free will problem; and a demonstration of what a great yet very much alive and relevant philosophical problem is like. Key Features: Covers major concepts views and arguments about free will in an engaging format Accessible style and pedagogical features for students and general readers Cutting-edge contributions by preeminent scholars on free will. | Do We Have Free Will?

The Routledge Companion to Free Will

The Routledge Companion to Free Will

Questions concerning free will are intertwined with issues in almost every area of philosophy from metaphysics to philosophy of mind to moral philosophy and are also informed by work in different areas of science (principally physics neuroscience and social psychology). Free will is also a perennial concern of serious thinkers in theology and in non-western traditions. Because free will can be approached from so many different perspectives and has implications for so many debates a comprehensive survey needs to encompass an enormous range of approaches. This book is the first to draw together leading experts on every aspect of free will from those who are central to the current philosophical debates to non-western perspectives to scientific contributions and to those who know the rich history of the subject. Chapter 37 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3. 0 license. https://s3-us-west-2. amazonaws. com/tandfbis/rt-files/docs/Open+Access+Chapters/9781138795815_oachapter37. pdf | The Routledge Companion to Free Will

Free Will Responsibility and Crime An Introduction

Free Will Responsibility and Crime An Introduction

In his book philosopher and law professor Ken Levy explains why he agrees with most people but not with most other philosophers about free will and responsibility. Most people believe that we have both – that is that our choices decisions and actions are neither determined nor undetermined but rather fully self-determined. By contrast most philosophers understand just how difficult it is to defend this metaphysical libertarian position. So they tend to opt for two other theories: responsibility skepticism (which denies the very possibility of free will and responsibility) and compatibilism (which reduces free will and responsibility to properties that are compatible with determinism). In opposition to both of these theories Levy explains how free will and responsibility are indeed metaphysically possible. But he also cautions against the dogma that metaphysical libertarianism is actually true a widespread belief that continues to cause serious social political and legal harms. Levy’s book presents a crisp tight historically informed discussion with fresh clarity insight and originality. It will become one of the definitive resources for students academics and general readers in this critical intersection among metaphysics ethics and criminal law. Key features: Presents a unique qualified defense of metaphysical libertarianism the idea that our choices decisions and actions can be fully self-determined. Written clearly accessibly and with minimal jargon – rare for a book on the very difficult issues of free will and responsibility. Seamlessly connects philosophical legal psychological and political issues. Will be provocative and insightful for professional philosophers students and non-philosophers. | Free Will Responsibility and Crime An Introduction

Free Print and Non-commercial Publishing Since 1700

Free Print and Non-commercial Publishing Since 1700

This title was first published in 2000: The essays in this collection re-examine the phenomenon of free print in print culture. By focusing on free print the volume offers perspectives in the cultural history of textual transmission from the early-18th century to the mid-20th century. Publishing in the sense of making the print public embraces the free and often unsolicited distribution of religious literature political propaganda and civic and personal gifts. The free print examined here includes gift-books; advertisements and commemorations; the promotion of knowledge institutions and services; commercial and philanthropic lobbying; religious and missionary activity; and political propaganda both official and underground. Broad issues range from the consideration of press finances government intervention and private and institutional patronage to textual familiarity and social ritual. The approach is deliberately comparative. Ten established scholars of book and printing history who look at very different regions and periods test the nature of the alleged authority of print and the apparent value of the commercial tag through the study of print which arrives unbidden in the hands of its consumers. The chapters in this volume are based on papers first given at the Print for Free conference organized by the Cambridge Project for the Book Trust in September 1996. | Free Print and Non-commercial Publishing Since 1700

Academies Free Schools and Social Justice

Academies Free Schools and Social Justice

Academies were introduced by Labour in 2000 and first opened their doors in 2002 but during Labour’s time in power the nature of the Academies changed. At first they were designed to replace existing failing schools but by 2004 the expectation had widened to provide for entirely new schools where there was a demand for new places. From 2010 under the coalition government two new types of Academy were introduced. While the original Academies were based on the idea of closing poor schools and replacing them by dramatically redesigned and restructured ones the 2010 Academies Act allowed existing highly successful state-maintained schools to apply to become Academies as well. Further while Labour had restricted Academy status to secondary schools the Coalition extended it to primary and special schools. The result is that there has been a dramatic increase in the number and diversity of Academies. In addition to this the 2010 Act introduced Free Schools wherein groups of parents teachers or other sponsors can apply to start their own state-maintained but officially ‘independent’ schools. These schools can either be completely new or the result of existing private schools applying to become state-maintained. The results of these changes remain under-researched. This book puts forward new research that examines the history and nature of Academies and Free Schools the processes by which they have come into existence and their effects in terms of social justice. The contributors do not all speak with one voice but rather present a diversity of views on these important topics. Included in the collection are the results of research on pupil outcomes and socio-economic segregation; issues of identity and ethos in church academies; the problems of establishing free schools; the history of policy on Academies; and a comparison between Swedish independent schools and Academies and Free Schools. This book was originally published as a special issue of Research Papers in Education. | Academies Free Schools and Social Justice

Free Will A Defence Against Neurophysiological Determinism

Free Will A Defence Against Neurophysiological Determinism

The problem of freedom and determinism is one of the most enduring and one of the best problems in philosophy. One of the best because it so tenaciously resists solution while yet always seeming urgent and one of the most enduring because it has always been able to present itself in different ways to suit the preoccupations of different ages. This book first published in 1980 sets out to defend free will: it elaborates a sober and systematic case for libertarianism in the face of the overwhelming threat that is posed by the scientific study of the brain. | Free Will A Defence Against Neurophysiological Determinism

Russia's Liberal Media Handcuffed but Free

Russia's Liberal Media Handcuffed but Free

This book examines the challenges and pressures liberal journalists face in Putin's Russia. It presents the findings of an in-depth qualitative study which included ethnographic observations of editorial meetings during the conflict in Ukraine. It also provides a theoretical framework for evaluating the Russian media system and a historical overview of the development of liberal media in the country.

South American Free Trade Area or Free Trade Area of the Americas? Open Regionalism and the Future of Regional Economic Integration in South

South American Free Trade Area or Free Trade Area of the Americas? Open Regionalism and the Future of Regional Economic Integration in South

This title was first published in 2000: This work examines the hemispheric diplomacy after the Summits of the America in Miami (December 1994) and Santiago (April 1998) focusing on the strengthening of the South American position in the FTAA negotiations and the Brazilian proposal for a South American Free Trade Area (SAFTA). The book also looks at the implications of the preceding analysis for regional integration theory and international relations theory. The conclusion looks beyond open regionalism and considers three scenarios for US-South American relations after the Santiago Summit. First reassertion of US hegemony and signing of an FTAA agreement on schedule second erosion of US hegemony but continuing negotiations between North and South America for a distant FTAA and finally breakdown of the FTAA negotations and emergence of SAFTA as an alternative to the FTAA. | South American Free Trade Area or Free Trade Area of the Americas?

Inclusive Trade in Africa The African Continental Free Trade Area in Comparative Perspective

Inclusive Trade in Africa The African Continental Free Trade Area in Comparative Perspective

Providing the first book-length analysis of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) this volume asks how can it be ensured that the AfCFTA is effectively implemented to deliver inclusive trade in Africa. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will cover an African market of 1. 2 billion people and GDP of over $2. 5 trillion across all 55 member States of the African Union. Yet trade policy increasingly appreciates that free trade is not enough; trade must also be inclusive to deliver developmental benefits. With contributions from leading trade policy authors across Africa and beyond this book offers insights into the development and implementation of the AfCFTA and serves as a reference for stakeholders interested in trade in Africa more broadly. The contributors assess what important lessons can be drawn from the experiences of regional integration in and beyond Africa including from success stories like ASEAN as well as from failures like the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. An important new work for researchers and policymakers focusing on African trade and economic policy and trade policy more generally. | Inclusive Trade in Africa The African Continental Free Trade Area in Comparative Perspective

Unsettled Voices Beyond Free Speech in the Late Liberal Era

Unsettled Voices Beyond Free Speech in the Late Liberal Era

From resurgent racisms to longstanding Islamophobia from settler colonial refusals of First Nations voices to border politics and migration debates ‘free speech’ has been weaponised to target racialized communities and bolster authoritarian rule. Unsettled Voices identifies the severe limitations and the violent consequences of ‘free speech debates’ typical of contemporary cultural politics and explores the possibilities to combat racism when liberal values underpin emboldened white supremacy. What kind of everyday racially motivated speech is protected by such an interpretation of liberal ideology? How do everyday forms of social expression that vilify and intimidate find shelter through an inflation of the notion of freedom of speech? Furthermore how do such forms refuse the idea that language can be a performative act from which harm can be derived? Racialized speech has conjured and shaped the subjectivities of multiple intersecting participants reproducing new and problematic forms of precarity. These vulnerabilities have been experienced from the sound of rubber bullets in the Occupied Palestinian Territories to UK hate speech legislation to the spontaneous performace of a First Nations war dance on the Australian Rules football pitch. This book identifies the deep limitations and the violent consequences of the longstanding and constantly developing ‘free speech debates’ typical of so many contexts in the West and explores the possibilities to combat racism when liberal values are ‘weaponized’ to target racialized communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies. | Unsettled Voices Beyond Free Speech in the Late Liberal Era

Free Exercise of Religion and the United States Constitution The Supreme Court’s Challenge

Free Exercise of Religion and the United States Constitution The Supreme Court’s Challenge

The United States is extremely diverse religiously and not infrequently individuals sincerely contend that they are unable to act in accord with law as a matter of conscience. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the free exercise of religion and the United States Supreme Court has issued many decisions exploring the depth and breadth of those protections. This book addresses the Court’s free exercise jurisprudence discussing what counts as religion and the protections that have been afforded to a variety of religious practices. Regrettably the Court has not offered a principled and consistent account of which religious practices are protected or even how to decide whether a particular practice is protected which has resulted in similar cases being treated dissimilarly. Further the Court’s free exercise jurisprudence has been used to provide guidance in interpreting federal statutory protections which is making matters even more chaotic. This book attempts to clarify what the Court has said in the hopes that it will contribute to the development of a more consistent and principled jurisprudence that respects the rights of the religious and the non-religious. | Free Exercise of Religion and the United States Constitution The Supreme Court’s Challenge

Wesley Whitefield and the 'Free Grace' Controversy The Crucible of Methodism

Wesley Whitefield and the 'Free Grace' Controversy The Crucible of Methodism

When approaching the most public disagreement over predestination in the eighteenth century the ‘Free Grace’ controversy between John Wesley and George Whitefield the tendency can be to simply review the event as a row over the same old issues. This assumption pervades much of the scholarly literature that deals with early Methodism. Moreover much of that same literature addresses the dispute from John Wesley’s vantage point often harbouring a bias towards his Evangelical Arminianism. Yet the question must be asked: was there more to the ‘Free Grace’ controversy than a simple rehashing of old arguments?This book answers this complex question by setting out the definitive account of the ‘Free Grace’ controversy in first decade of the Evangelical Revival (1739-49). Centred around the key players in the fracas John Wesley and George Whitefield it is a close analysis of the way in which the doctrine of predestination was instrumental in differentiating the early Methodist societies from one another. It recounts the controversy through the lens of doctrinal analysis and from two distinct perspectives: the propositional content of a given doctrine and how that doctrine exerts formative pressure upon the assenting individual(s). What emerges from this study is a clearer picture of the formative years of early Methodism and the vital role that doctrinal pronouncement played in giving a shape to early Methodist identity. It will therefore be of great interest to scholars of Methodism Evangelicalism Theology and Church History. | Wesley Whitefield and the 'Free Grace' Controversy The Crucible of Methodism

Free Speech and Hate Speech in the United States The Limits of Toleration

Free Speech and Hate Speech in the United States explores the concept and treatment of hate speech in light of escalating social tensions in the global twenty-first century proposing a shift in emphasis from the negative protection of individual rights toward a more positive support of social equality.

To illustrate how this framework might impact speech rights in the U. S. she looks specifically at hate speech in the context of symbolic speech disparaging speech internet speech and speech on college campuses. Entering into an ongoing debate about the role of speech in society this book will be of key importance to First Amendment scholars and to scholars and students of communication studies media studies media law political science feminist studies American studies and history. | Free Speech and Hate Speech in the United States The Limits of Toleration

Compliance Capitalism How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree Overregulated Workers

Compliance Capitalism How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree Overregulated Workers

In this book Sidney Dekker sets out to identify the market mechanisms that explain how less government paradoxically leads to greater compliance burdens. This book gives shape and substance to a suspicion that has become widespread among workers in almost every industry: we have to follow more rules than ever—and still things can go spectacularly wrong. Much has been privatized and deregulated giving us what is sometimes known as ‘new public management ’ driven by neoliberal market-favoring policies. But paradoxically we typically have more rules today not fewer. It’s not the government: it’s us. This book is the first of a three-part series on the effects of ‘neoliberalism ’ which promotes the role of the private sector in the economy. Compliance Capitalism examines what aspects of the compliance economy what mechanisms of bureaucratization are directly linked to us having given free markets a greater reign over our political economy. The book steps through them picking up the evidence and levers for change along the way. Dekker’s work has always challenged readers to embrace more humane empowering ways to think about work and its quality and safety. In Compliance Capitalism Dekker extends his reach once again writing for all managers board members organization leaders consultants practitioners researchers lecturers students and investigators curious to understand the genuine nature of organizational and safety performance. | Compliance Capitalism How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree Overregulated Workers

Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'

The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet is one of the seminal albums in rock history. Arguably it not only marks the advent of the ‘mature’ sound of the Rolling Stones but lays out a new blueprint for an approach to blues-based rock music that would endure for several decades. From its title to the dark themes that pervade some of its songs Beggars Banquet reflected and helped define a moment marked by violence decay and upheaval. It marked a move away from the artistic sonic flourishes of psychedelic rock towards an embrace of foundational streams of American music – blues country – that had always underpinned the music of the Stones but assumed new primacy in their music after 1968. This move coincided with and anticipated the ‘roots’ moves that many leading popular music artists made as the 1960s turned toward a new decade; but unlike many of their peers whose music grew more ‘soft’ and subdued as they embraced traditional styles the music and attitude of the Stones only grew harder and more menacing and their status as representatives of the dark underside of the 60s rock counterculture assumed new solidity. For the Rolling Stones the 1960s ended and the 1970s began with the release of this album in 1968. | Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution ‘They Call My Name Disturbance'
