Abstract

I believe that human beings sometimes act freely and are morally responsible for some of what they do. If free will is the power to act freely, then I believe in free will. In Free Will and Luck, I try to make salient the most difficult conceptual problems that my belief encounters, and I develop solutions to those problems. I also expose some pseudo-problems along the way.
