Freedom From Necessity by Bernard Berofsky, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This book, first published in 1987, is about the classic free will problem, construed in terms of the implications of moral responsibility. The principal thesis is that the core issue is metaphysical: can scientific laws postulate objectively necessary connections between an action and its causal antecedents? The author concludes they cannot, and that, therefore, free will and determinism can be reconciled. | Freedom From Necessity by Bernard Berofsky, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
