Taylor W. Cyr and Matthew T. Flummer's excellent podcast, The Free Will Show, offers accessible interviews with some of the leading researchers working not only on free will, but on a range of problems related to the nature and scope of human agency. This volume brings together some of the best of these interviews, along with a helpful introduction and suggestions for further reading. It should be of special interest to people looking for an accessible introduction to contemporary philosophical work on free will. It will also be of interest to academics looking for summaries of the views of leading philosophers working on free will in their own words.

Andrei A. Buckareff, Marist College

This excellent collection contains a number of lucid, illuminating conversations on free will with many of the foremost scholars in the field. The unique format of this book makes it perfect for those looking for an introduction to the free will debate as well as those interested in keeping up with its most cutting-edge developments.

Hannah Tierney, University of California, Davis

This is a fully revised, enlarged and up-to-date edition of Ted Honderich's modern classic 'How Free Are You? The Determinism Problem'. In the first four chapters, he sets out a determinist philosophy of mind, in response to the question 'Is there a really clear, consistent and complete version of determinism?' He also considers whether there is such an adequate version of the free will doctrine. He goes on to the question of whether determinism is refuted by Quantum Theory or anything else ... and then the question of what we are to conclude about our lives if it is true. The tradition of Incompatibilist philosophers says that if it is true we cannot be free and responsible. Compatibilist philosophers say we still can be. Ted Honderich rejects both traditions, and proposes an affirmative attitude to determinism ... before coming to new thoughts about the very nature of the problem. He offers a concise and lively introduction to the problem of determinism and freedom, as well as advancing the debate further in this fundamental part of the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy. Essential reading for philosophers and all others faced by the great problem.

This text sets out a determinist philosophy of mind, and asks if there is such a clear version of free will. It goes on to ask whether or not determinism is true and what can we conclude about our lives if it is. Both the compatabilist and incompatabilist traditions are explored.

GLOSSARY ; A NOTE ON FURTHER READING ; BIBLIOGRAPHY ; INDEX
`Review from previous edition the arguments for free will and determinism are lucidly laid out ... A primer that is serviceable, enjoyable and rather mischievous.' The Observer 1993 `refreshing, provocative and original work' Times Literary Supplement 1994 `a readable and engaging introduction to the determinism controversy ... Honderich's book is well worth reading ... the view he presents is provocative and he has written a very challenging and enlightening introduction to 'the determinism problem' that should be widely read.' Times Educational Supplement 1994 `If you feel strong enough read this book; if not be glad that it has been written; this is main stream philosophy and its conclusions are encouraging.' New Directions July 2002
