The only thing that shocks me on that survey is the the a percentage of professional philosophers still believe in libertarian freewelly. A, i mean that there are certain naturalistic versions of libertarianism, and i would hope the majority of the professional philosophers may be adopting those. I don't think really many people in the philosophical community take it seriously that we have soul control or some kind of a, a gentle libertarian agent,. causal control over our actions. So i do think progress has been made.
The concept of free will is profoundly important to our self-understanding, our interpersonal relationships, and our moral and legal practices. If it turns out that no one is ever free and morally responsible, what would that mean for society, morality, meaning, and the law? Just Deserts introduces the concepts central to the debate about free will and moral responsibility by way of an entertaining, rigorous, and sometimes heated philosophical dialogue between two leading thinkers.
