Incompatibilism's Allure by Ishtiyaque Haji

The role of freedom in assigning moral responsibility is one of the deepest problems in metaphysics and moral theory. Incompatibilism's Allure provides original analysis of the principal arguments for incompatibilism. Ishtiyaque Haji incisively examines the consequence argument, the direct argument, the deontic argument, the manipulation argument, the impossibility argument and the luck objection. He introduces the most important contemporary discussions in a manner accessible to advanced undergraduates, but also suited to professional philosophers. The result is a unique and compelling account for incompatibilism's continuing allure.

Ishtiyaque Haji is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Calgary. He is the author of Moral Appraisability (1998), Deontic Morality and Control (2002), Moral Responsibility, Authenticity, and Education (with Stefaan Cuypers, 2008), Freedom and Value (2009), Incompatibilism's Allure (2009), and Reason's Debt to Freedom (2012). Justin Caouette is a doctoral candidate at the University of Calgary. His main areas of interest are ethics, metaphysics, and philosophy of action. He has published on moral responsibility in the American Journal of Bioethics - Neuroscience.
