Carolina Sartorio

Causation and Free Will

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Carolina Sartorio argues that only the actual causes of our behaviour matter to our freedom. Causation has some important features that make it a responsibility-grounding relation, and actual causes reflect the agents' sensitivity to reasons. Sartorio connects debates on causation and the problem of free will in new and illuminating ways.
