Chapter 1What’s Dynamic About Causal Powers? A Black Box!

Marmodoro, Anna

Pages: 1 –15

[Modern science cannot do without Aristotelian powers – thus have argued Cartwright and Pemberton (2013) among many others. Aristotelian powers are essentially dynamic entities, which account for causal phenomena, and thus explain how change comes about in the world. In this chapter I argue that...

Chapter 2Toppling the Pyramids: Physics Without Physical State Monism

Simpson, William M. R.; Horsley, Simon A. R.

Pages: 17 –50

[In this paper, we challenge a wide-spread assumption among philosophers that contemporary physics supports physical state monism. This is the claim that the causal powers of a system supervene upon the ‘lower-level’ laws and the lower-level state of the cosmos (as represented by our ‘best...

Chapter 3Dispositional Essentialism in the Eternalist Block

Roselli, Andrea

Pages: 51 –68

[The connection between the metaphysics of time and the metaphysics of powers is a relatively new debate in the philosophical literature. Friebe (Journal for Theory, History and Foundations of Science, 33, 77–89, 2017, Backmann (Inquiry, 62, 979–1007, 2018), Donati (No time for powers, Phd...

Chapter 4A Dynamic B Theory of Time

Koons, Robert C.

Pages: 69 –82

[An adequate account of free will requires a robust powers ontology, but does it also require a “dynamic” A Theory of time? I argue that it is possible to construct a dynamic B Theory of time that is compatible with an Aristotelian ontology of causal powers and with free will. I conclude by...

Chapter 5Libertarian Freedom in an Eternalist World?

Page, Ben

Pages: 83 –94

[My students sometimes worry that if eternalism is true then they can’t have libertarian freedom. They aren’t alone, as this sentiment is also expressed, albeit typically briefly, by various philosophers. However, somewhat surprisingly, those working within the free will literature have largely...

Chapter 6The Temporal Structure of Agency

Chik, Janice

Pages: 95 –114

[Aristotle’s account of action as kinesis, an intrinsically temporal process, posits that action is a kind of change over time, with parts or sub-actions that occupy distinct subordinate phases of a movement. This general idea has produced conflicting accounts of agency, however. Proponents of...

Chapter 7Freedom of the Will and Rational Abilities

Mayr, Erasmus

Pages: 115 –135

[Since the 1990s, agential capacities and abilities have played an increasingly prominent role in the debate about free will, especially among compatibilists. But it is still not fully clear what precisely compatibilists will gain by relying on capacities and abilities. In this paper, I try to...

Chapter 8The Power to Will Freely: How to Re-Think About the Problem of Free Will Without Laws of Nature

De Haan, Daniel D.

Pages: 137 –160

[The problem of free will is ubiquitously articulated in terms of the (in)compatibility of free will with laws of nature. Peter van Inwagen, David Lewis, Robert Kane, and nearly all other contributors to the problem of free will, conceive it as a potential conflict between the laws of nature and...

Chapter 9Laws Loosened

Steward, Helen

Pages: 161 –183

[In this paper, I shall consider a number of different ways in which philosophers in recent years have attempted to offer conceptions of natural law which in various respects suggest that the grip of law on reality might be less tight than has been traditionally supposed. One such loosening is...

Chapter 10The Problem of Radical Freedom

Hüttemann, Andreas

Pages: 185 –198

[Whether or not we are able to do x is on many philosophical accounts of our moral practice relevant for whether we are responsible for not doing x or for being excusable for not having done x. In this paper I will examine how such accounts are affected by whether a Humean or non-Humean account...
