Praise for the first edition:
'This is an absolutely wonderful introductory book on the issues surrounding the very lively debates about free will and moral responsibility. This area of philosophy has been extremely active in the last two or three decades, and Griffith presents "the basics" in a clear and accessible way. The author has a gift for getting right to the heart of the issues. I highly recommend this book.' - John Martin Fischer, University of California - Riverside, USA
'Free Will: The Basics is an excellent introduction to free will. Griffith’s writing is lucid and engaging. She instructively surveys the major philosophical theories, controversies, and arguments about free will while keeping in view for her readers the relevance of her important topic to their lives.' - Alfred R. Mele, Florida State University, USA
