Persons and Causes by Timothy O'connor
In this provocative and carefully-argued study, Timothy O'Connor systematically develops an account of human agency intended to shed new light on contemporary discussions of free will. His examination of the general concept of causation and ontological reductionism versus emergence will especially interest metaphysicians and philosophers of mind.
The book is intelligent throughoutO'Connor is unafraid to defend an unfashionable view, and to do so in a bold and imaginative way. * John Martin Fischer, MIND *
