Do Human Beings Have Free Will? A Debate

""Do Human Beings Have Free Will? A Debate"" is a book that presents a debate between two philosophers, George Burman Foster and John Martin Fischer, on the topic of free will. The book explores the question of whether human beings have the ability to make choices freely or if their actions are predetermined by external factors such as genetics or environment. Foster argues that human beings do have free will, and that this ability is essential to our sense of morality and responsibility. He draws on philosophical and theological arguments to support his position. Fischer, on the other hand, argues that free will is an illusion, and that our actions are determined by factors beyond our control. He presents scientific and philosophical evidence to support his position. The book is structured as a dialogue between the two philosophers, with each presenting their arguments and responding to the other's points. The debate is presented in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for both students and general readers with an interest in philosophy. Overall, ""Do Human Beings Have Free Will? A Debate"" offers a thought-provoking discussion on a fundamental question about human nature and the nature of choice. It challenges readers to consider their own beliefs about free will and the implications of those beliefs for our understanding of morality and responsibility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
