About The Book
Living Without Free Will by Derk Pereboom presents a compelling argument that challenges traditional concepts of moral responsibility. Pereboom contends that our actions are the result of factors beyond our control, as suggested by our best scientific theories. Consequently, he argues that we are not morally responsible for any of our actions.
Despite this, Pereboom defends the view that morality, meaning, and value are not undermined by the absence of moral responsibility. On the contrary, he asserts that adopting this perspective could provide significant benefits for how we live our lives. The book offers a thought-provoking examination of free will, responsibility, and the implications for moral and philosophical theory.
With 231 pages of in-depth analysis, this book is essential reading for philosophers, ethicists, and anyone interested in exploring the relationship between free will, moral responsibility, and human behavior. It challenges established ideas while offering new insights into how we might better understand and approach moral issues in our lives.
