Reviews

"The style of the book is detailed and rigorous.... For those working within the Free Will debate the book is recommended and makes a valuable contribution."--David Wall, Metapsychology Online Reviews
"The book is well-written and meticulously argued, and positions are carefully defined and presented. Mele's writing is a model of analytical exposition. And as always, Mele is the master of the philosophical thought experiment, and manages to make convincing positions where others have feared to tread (or indeed would have never thought it were possible to tread)."--Saul Smilansky, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
