Breaking a Law of Nature

In this episode, we ask Helen Beebee about a range of compatibilist positions, beginning with the “classical compatibilism” of Hobbes/Hume and then turning to the conditional analysis of ability,  David Lewis’s “local miracle compatibilism,” and, finally,  “Humean compatibilism.”
