"Free Will: A Guide for the Perplexed" is a reader-friendly guide that tackles the question which theologists have been asking for centuries: "What is free will and do we truly have it?"

Author T.J. Mawson analyses this question and proposes that the answer should largely depend upon metaphysical and meta-ethical suppositions. Elaborating upon this point, Mawson claims that metaphysical and meta-ethical suppositions are both problematic. More specifically, the book explores whether it is possible to say that we are free when so much of the universe is way beyond our control (stretching all the way back to the big bang theory).

"Free Will: A Guide for the Perplexed" features an up to date overview of the contemporary debates about free will. It considers the debate from all angles, considering any of the alternative arguments that have surfaced in modern times.
