This volume gathers together recent discussion concerning the prospects for devising a satisfactory indeterministic account of freedom of action. Exploring traditional problems associated with indeterministic accounts, proposals for resolving such problems are expounded and criticized.
This volume investigates whether a coherent account of free will can be maintained within an indeterministic framework. Timothy O'Connor, a prominent philosopher of mind and action, compiles and evaluates various arguments regarding the compatibility of indeterminism and human agency. The text systematically addresses the traditional challenges posed to such accounts, offering critical analysis of existing proposals while advancing the discourse on the nature of causal power and intentional action.

Experts in the field of metaphysics and philosophy of action recognize this collection as a rigorous contribution to the ongoing debate surrounding free will. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for those with a background in analytic philosophy.
