- W4234991495 abstract "A Metaphysics for Freedom outlines the case for the view that agency itself—and not merely the special, distinctively human variety of it—is incompatible with determinism. It argues that determinism is threatened just as surely by the existence of powers which can be unproblematically accorded to many sorts of animals, as by the distinctively human powers of action on which the free will debate has tended to focus. A tendency to approach the question of free will solely through the issue of moral responsibility has obscured the fact that there is a quite different route to incompatibilism available, based on the idea that animal agents above a certain level of complexity possess a range of distinctive ‘two-way’ powers, not found in simpler substances. Determinism, it is contended, is not a doctrine of physics, but of metaphysics; and the idea that it is physics which will tell us whether our world is deterministic or not is argued to presuppose what must not be taken for granted—that is, that physics settles everything else. An outline of a variety of top-down causation which might sustain the idea that an animal itself, rather than merely events and states going on in its parts, may bring something about, is explored. The whole is an argument for a distinctive and resolutely non-dualistic, naturalistically respectable version of libertarianism, rooted in a conception of what biological forms of organization might make possible in the way of freedom." @default.
