Do Human Beings Have Free Will? A Debate

""Do Human Beings Have Free Will? A Debate"" is a thought-provoking 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 free will or if their actions are predetermined by factors such as genetics, environment, and past experiences. Foster argues that humans do not have free will, as their actions are determined by various factors beyond their control. He believes that free will is an illusion and that humans are essentially controlled by their biology and environment. On the other hand, Fischer argues that humans do have free will, despite the many factors that may influence their decisions. He believes that humans have the ability to make choices and act freely, even if those choices are influenced by external factors. Throughout the book, Foster and Fischer present their arguments in a clear and concise manner, engaging in a respectful and insightful debate. They explore various philosophical concepts and theories, including determinism, compatibilism, and libertarianism, and provide examples and counterarguments to support their positions. Overall, ""Do Human Beings Have Free Will? A Debate"" is an engaging and thought-provoking read that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or the nature of human behavior. It presents a balanced and nuanced exploration of a complex topic, offering readers a deeper understanding of the concept of free will and its implications for human life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
