“Let’s build an Anscombe box”: assessing Anscombe’s rebuttal of the statistics objection against indeterminism-based free agency

Synthese, 2022
Towards the end of her famous 1971 paper “Causality and Determination”, Elizabeth Anscombe discusses the controversial idea that “ ‘physical haphazard’ could be the only physical correlate of human freedom of action”.

Indeterminism, Causality and Information: Has Physics Ever Been Deterministic? [PDF]

Undecidability, Uncomputability, and Unpredictability, 2020
A tradition handed down among physicists maintains that classical physics is a perfectly deterministic theory capable of predicting the future with absolute certainty, independently of any interpretations. It also tells that it was quantum mechanics that

Compatibilism by degrees [PDF]

Belgrade Philosophical Annual
The usual compatibility debates concerning moral responsibility, determinism and indeterminism tend to be all-or-nothing ("Determinism rules out responsibility!", "Undetermined actions are too lucky to be free!"). The suggestion in this paper is that the

Quantum
What is fundamentally quantum? We argue that most of the features, problems, and paradoxes – such as the measurement problem, the Wigner's friend paradox and its proposed solutions, single particle nonlocality, and no-cloning – allegedly attributed to ...

What Does Indeterminism Offer to Agency?

Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 2021
Libertarian views of freedom claim that, although determinism would rule out our freedom, we are nevertheless free on some occasions. An odd implication of such views (to put it mildly) seems to be that indeterminism somehow enhances or contributes to ...

, 2021
The main thesis of this paper is that Pap’s The Functional A Priori in Physical Theory and Cassirer’s Determinism and Indeterminism in Modern Physics may be conceived as two kindred accounts of a late Neo-Kantian philosophy of science. They elucidate and
