This is a revised and updated edition of Galen Strawson's groundbreaking first book, where he argues that in a fundamental sense there is no such thing as free will or true moral responsibility. Strawson examines the 'cognitive phenomenology' of freedom - the nature, causes, and consequences of our deep commitment to belief in freedom.
This is an honest and challenging work, full of subtle arguments and imaginiative examples, and should be read by anyone interested in philosophical problems about human freedom.
