{"product_id":"causation-and-free-will-9780198845690","title":"Causation and Free Will","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarolina Sartorio argues that only the actual causes of our behaviour matter to our freedom. Although this simple view of freedom clashes with most theories of responsibility  including the most prominent actual sequence theories currently on offer  Sartorio argues for its truth. The key  she claims  lies in a correct understanding of the role played by causation in a view of that kind. Causation has some important features that make it a responsibility-grounding relation  and this to the success of the view. Also  when agents act freely  the actual causes are richer than they appear to be at first sight; in particular  they reflect the agents sensitivity to reasons  where this includes both the existence of actual reasons and the absence of other (counterfactual) reasons. So acting freely requires more causes and quite complex causes  as opposed to fewer causes and simpler causes  and is compatible with those causes being deterministic. The book connects two different debates  the one on causation and the one on the problem of free will  in new and illuminating ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665868447797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0198845693","price":70.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198845690.jpg?v=1782411354","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/causation-and-free-will-9780198845690","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
