Chapter 4 The Folk Psychological Roots of Free Will

Debates surrounding free will are notorious for their intractability. This is so in spite of the fact that, even at a fairly fine grain of analysis, competing views on the nature of free will are well understood. Why can't philosophers find common ground? One line of thought that has emerged fa...
