Philosophy 741 - Seminar in Metaphysics

This is a seminar on the metaphysics of free will. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the idea that agent causation plays a crucial role in solving the problem of freedom and determinism, and some writers have been exploring the possibility of combining agent causation with compatibilism. In this course we will examine some of the recent literature on these and related topics.

An advanced seminar on a topic in metaphysics. Specific topic varies. For more information, please consult the Philosophy Department Webpage [http://www.umass.edu/philosophy].
