On the Viability of Semi-Compatibilism [PDF]

open access: yesIdeas y Valores, 2009

Compatibilism, Indeterminism, and Chance [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 2018
AbstractMany contemporary compatibilists about free will and determinism are agnostic about whether determinism is true, yet do not doubt that we have free will. They are thus committed to the thesis that free will is compatible with both determinism and indeterminism.

Compatibilism can be natural

open access: yesConsciousness and Cognition, 2017
Compatibilism is the view that moral responsibility is compatible with determinism. Natural compatibilism is the view that in ordinary social cognition, people are compatibilists.

Manipulation Cases in Free Will and Moral Responsibility, Part 1: Cases and Arguments. [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Compass
ABSTRACT A common style of argument in the literature on free will and moral responsibility is the Manipulation Argument. These tend to begin with a case of an agent in a deterministic universe who is manipulated, say, via brain surgery, into performing some action. Intuitively, this agent is not responsible for that action.

Libertarianism seems vulnerable to a serious problem concerning present luck, because it requires indeterminism somewhere in the causal chain leading to directly free action.

Indirect Compatibilism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this thesis, I will defend a new kind of compatibilist account of free action, indirect conscious control compatibilism (or indirect compatibilism for short), and argue that some of our actions are free according to it.
