In this work, Franklin develops and defends a version of event-causal libertarianism about free will and moral responsibility.

Robert Kane is one of the most prominent contributors to debates on free will over the last 50 years. Here he discusses the evolution of his views since his 1996 volume The Significance of Free Will, and provides responses to some of the latest critical literature on them.
