Supporting an agent-causal libertarian account of free will with a variant of Franklin’s ‘It Ain’t Me’ argument

摘要

Christopher Franklin summarizes the standard argument for an agent-causal libertarian account of free will and formulates an alternative, which he calls the ‘It Ain’t Me’ argument. The latter relies on agent-causal libertarianism’s causal non-reductivism. Franklin suggests that agent-causal libertarians should support their position by defending a nonreductive agent-causal account of reasons-responsive agency instead of employing the standard argument. This paper summarizes a proposed agent-causal account of free will; argues for a nonreductive agent-causal account of reasons-responsive agency in doing so; and supports the proposed account with a variant of Franklin’s ‘It Ain’t Me’ argument.
