Causation and Free Will

In her thought-provoking book, Causation and Free Will, Carolina Sartorio explores the intricate relationship between causation and our sense of freedom. Published by Oxford University Press in 2019, this 208-page paperback delves into the idea that only the actual causes of our behavior are essential to understanding our freedom. Sartorio presents a compelling argument that causation possesses critical features that establish a responsibility-grounding relation, highlighting how actual causes reflect an agent's sensitivity to reasons. By connecting debates on causation with the complexities of free will, Sartorio offers fresh insights and illuminates the nuances of these philosophical discussions. This engaging read is perfect for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, ethics, and human behavior.
