Dan O'Neill: I think what dan is trying to say is a game blame, let's call it game blame. When i blame the person who committed the foulet, got the red card. A, that that's the same thing at large in society. In society, no harm is being done. That's e significant philosophical interest on the free will debate.

The moral club has nothing to do with either luck or determinism and we're left with purely consequentials justifications for these practices.
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.
