Introduction. Formulating the problem of free will -- Some remarks on libertarianism -- Synopsis of the book -- Why the compatibilism issue and the conceptual-analysis issue are metaphysically irrelevant. Introduction -- What determines whether an answer to the what-is-free-will question is correct? -- Why the what-is-free-will question is irrelevant to the do-we-have-free-will question, assuming the OL view is correct -- Why the what-is-free-will question is irrelevant to the do-we-have-free-will question, even if the OL view isn't correct -- Why the compatibilism question reduces to the what-is-free-will question -- Where we stand and where we're going next -- An aside : some remarks on the what-is-free-will question, the compatibilism question, and the moral responsibility question -- Why the libertarian question reduces to the issue of indeterminacy. Introduction -- Preliminaries -- The argument -- Non-torn decisions -- Where we stand -- Why there are no good arguments for or against determinism (or any other thesis that would establish or refute libertarianism). Introduction -- An a priori argument for determinism (and, hence, against TDW-indeterminism)? -- An a priori argument for libertarianism (and, hence, in favor of TDW-indeterminism)? -- Empirical arguments? -- Where we stand
This work presents an argument that the problem of free will boils down to an open scientific question about the causal histories of certain kinds of neural events
