Author: Hodgson, David.
Title: A Plain Person's Free Will [Journal of Consciousness Studies Special Issue].
Description: Thorverton, UK Imprint Academic, 2005. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 95 pp. Plain persons tend to accept that free will exists and is inconsistent with determinism, but this commonsense position is widely debunked by professional philosophers and cognitive scientists. In this special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, David Hodgson defends a simple, robust account of the plain person's position on free will, as well as supporting equally robust views of personal responsibility for conduct. In a lively debate, his ideas are then discussed and challenged by ten philosophers and scientists of varying opinions, including Robert Kane, Henry Stapp, and veteran philosopher of mind J. J. C. Smart, with a response by Hodgson, who is a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Sydney. ISBN: 1845400275
