Machan, Tibor R.
- Abstract
Tibor R. Machan argues that William Dwyer's review of his book, Initiative: Human Agency and Society (The Journal of Ajin Rand Studies, Fall 2001), assumes that compatibilism is coherent. Machan argues that compatibilism is simpiy hard determinism with some soft edges but as such it is not coherent. In light of this, the agent-causation-based thesis of human initiative (or freedom of the human will) that Machan defends is superior to its alternatives.
