Abstract

In Chapters 3 and 4, we considered some arguments for incompatibilism: the Consequence Argument (CA), the Sourcehood Argument (SA), Pereboom’s four-case argument (4CA), and Mele’s zygote argument. My own view is that these arguments are by no means conclusive – far from it – but, of course, not everyone agrees with that assessment. And so we come to incompatibilist views of freedom of the will.
