| Title | East of Walden Two A Defence of Libertarian Freedom |
| Summary | My thesis is a positive argument for the libertarian conception of freedom on the basis that it grounds personhood in a much fuller sense than the causal (compatibilist) conception of freedom can, and a defence of it against the objections that it would be incoherent, or necessarily non-rational, or empirically impossible. There is a significant philosophical price though to pay for libertarian freedom. I assess how great this price is, and try to compare it to the price of the causal (compatibilist) theory. |
