{"product_id":"indirect-freedom","title":"Indirect Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book advances a new kind of compatibilist account of free will: indirect compatibilism. It is the first sustained philosophical analysis of the idea that the ordinary concept of free will is a conditional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndirect compatibilism is the combination of two theses. The first is that the best understanding of our concept of free will is that it is a \u003ci\u003econditional concept\u003c\/i\u003e—that indeterminism or libertarian powers are necessary if they are actual, but not if they are not. The second is \u003ci\u003eindirection\u003c\/i\u003e—that actions are free either when they are caused by standard conscious psychological processes, or else by sub-personal-level processes influenced in various ways by conscious psychological processes. The book combines traditional philosophical analysis with empirical work—in particular, experimental philosophy and cognitive neuroscience—to produce a detailed description and defence of indirect compatibilism. Indirect compatibilism resolves two important problems in the free will literature: that people as a matter of fact do not accept that free actions can exist in a deterministic universe, and that some simple actions are under the direct control of conscious psychological processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndirect Freedom will appeal to researchers and graduate students interested in the metaphysics of free will, experimental philosophy, philosophy of mind, and cognitive neuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54719586894168,"sku":"9781041017509","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041017509_f54c05b7-242e-4249-8d6f-db413de508bf.jpg?v=1768405529","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/indirect-freedom","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
