Details about Free Will Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy:
As an advanced introduction to the challenging topic of free will, this book is designed for upper-level undergraduates interested in a comprehensive first-stop into the field’s issues and debates. It is written by two of the leading participants in those debates—a compatibilist on the issue of free will and determinism (Michael McKenna) and an incompatibilist (Derk Pereboom). These two authors achieve an admirable objectivity and clarity while still illuminating the field’s complexity and key advances. Each chapter is structured to work as one week’s primary reading in a course on free will, while more advanced courses can dip into the annotated further readings, suggested at the end of each chapter. A comprehensive bibliography as well as detailed subject and author indexes are included at the back of the book.

I have a Master's degree (MA) in Political Science focusing on political theory and public law. I graduated top of my class (Magna Cum Laude) and wrote my Master's thesis on education. I have been teaching at a prestigious private school the last ten years. Both students and parents have expressed their gratitude and praise regarding my teaching style. The student/teacher relationship does not stop when class ends, and parents particularly have appreciated the care I take to promote student success in and outside the classroom. Most of my students have an eye toward either politics, the law, or teaching upon graduating college. Read more
