| Title | A Defence of Agent-Causal Libertarianism |
| Summary | The aim of this thesis is to offer a defence of the agent-causal view of libertarianism. The thesis is structured in three parts where I argue for three distinct claims. In the first part, I claim that the powers-based view of causation allows us to recognize agents as distinct causes that operate in the world. In the second part, I expand the idea of powers and explain how we can understand the human agency by reference to the notion of agent causation and powersagents possess. In the third part, I demonstratehow the idea ofhuman agency I have developedin the second part could be relevant tothelibertariannotion of free agency |
