Persons and Causes: The Metaphysics of Free Will
New York, US: Oxford University Press USA (2000)
Abstract
This provocative book refurbishes the traditional account of freedom of will as reasons-guided "agent" causation, situating its account within a general metaphysics. O'Connor's discussion of the general concept of causation and of ontological reductionism v. emergence will specially interest metaphysicians and philosophers of mind.Author's Profile
