Moorlock reviewed Free Will by Thomas Pink
Review of 'Free Will' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Such a tiny, slim book, and yet it took me so long to get from one cover to the other.
It's clearly-written, for the most part, and dense with information. The first and better part of the book concerns itself with how the philosophical debate about free will has developed, and what the main points of contention are.
The last bit is the author's own attempt to recover free will from the ashbin of philosophical skepticism. It's less-clearly written, but does a good job of knocking down a bad argument or two -- it mainly argues that confident philosophical skepticism about free will tends to assume what it sets out to prove, which was a new counter-argument to me, and which Pink makes a pretty good case for.
