Editorial Reviews
Review
'This is a very thorough, very scholarly book, which as such has been and will be much and rightly commended.' Anthony Flew, Philosophical Investigations
'The beauty of the book lies in its combination of historical sweep and analytical rigour. ... Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the free will issue.' - Network
'A most illuminating historical and philosophical introduction to the free will issue.' - Network
'useful and thought-provoking book' - Heythrop Journal
Product Description
The debate between free will and its opposing doctrine, determinism, is one of the key issues in philosophy. Ilham Dilman brings together all the dimensions of the problem of free will with examples from literature, ethics and psychoanalysis, and draws out valuable insights from both sides of the freedom-determinism divide. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to this highly important question and examines the contributions made by sixteen of the most outstanding thinkers from the time of early Greece to modern times: Homer, Sophocles, Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Schopenhauer, Freud, Sartre, Weil, Wittgenstein, Moore.
