This volume honors the significant contributions of philosopher John Martin Fischer to the fields of free will, moral responsibility, and related metaphysical and ethical issues. The book presents new essays by leading scholars that engage with Fischer's influential semicompatibilist view of free will and moral responsibility, particularly his emphasis on reasons-responsiveness as the basis for accountability. It also explores his work on freedom and foreknowledge, the problem of evil, the badness of death, the meaning of life, and the allure of immortality. The collection includes a new essay by Fischer himself, offering a defense of his core theoretical motivations.

This collection is designed to be of interest to scholars and students engaged with contemporary issues in metaphysics, ethics, and philosophy of religion. The essays are expected to reflect the ongoing scholarly dialogue surrounding John Martin Fischer's influential work, particularly his widely discussed theories on free will and moral responsibility. The inclusion of a new piece by Fischer himself provides a direct engagement with his own philosophical framework. The volume serves as a testament to the enduring impact of his four decades of transformative scholarship.
