Reviews

"This is simply a terrific book. Anyone with an interest in what (analytic) philosophy has done with the perennial question of free will during the last forty years will find it invaluable. If the other books in the new Oxford Handbook Series are remotely as good as this one, Oxford has really outdone itself."--Philosophia Christi"The Handboook of Free Will is a splendid addition to the recent Oxford Handbook series.... The scope of the project is impressive, and no work of this scope on the free will problem can be found anywhere else. The volume is much welcome."--International Journal for Philosophy of Religion
