“Free Will is a collection of papers primarily designed for undergraduate philosophy coursesThis would be an excellent book to use with students with some background in philosophy, especially if coupled with other articles that followed up the discussion of free will into some other area, such as personal identity, moral responsibility, blame, and punishment, or excuses for action.” (Metapsychology, November 2008)
