Kane is one of the leading contemporary philosophers on Free Will . Advocating what is termed within philosophy " Libertarian freedom", Kane argues that "(1) the existence of alternative possibilities (or the agent's power to do otherwise) is a necessary condition for acting freely, and (2) determinism is not compatible with alternative possibilities (it precludes the power to do otherwise)" (''Oxford Handbook of Free Will'', page 11). In defending libertarian freedom Kane opposes many modern philosophers, most notably Daniel Dennett . SEE ALSO |
