Freedom Without Responsibility [Book Review]

Review of Metaphysics 45 (3):638-639 (1992)

Abstract

Waller offers a vigorous defense of "no-fault naturalism." He agrees with compatibilists that determinism does not rule out free will. But only contracausal freedom supports moral responsibility, and this presupposes a "miraculous belief system" ; thus none of the free will/determinism disputants come out unscathed. Libertarians do not stay within the natural realm. Compatibilists confuse freedom with responsibility. Hard determinists fail to recognize freedom in their midst.
