Aspects of Agency: Decisions, Abilities, Explanations, and Free Will
New York: Oup Usa (2017)
Abstract
Mele develops a view of paradigmatically free actions--including decisions--as indeterministically caused by their proximal causes. He mounts a masterful defense of this thesis that includes solutions to problems about luck and control widely discussed in the literature on free will and moral responsibility.Author's Profile
