Free Will and Human Responsibility: A Philosophical Argument (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Free Will and Human Responsibility: A Philosophical Argument

The following monograph grew out of class exercises in my course in philosophy given for a number of years in Dartmouth College. In order to quicken interest by varying the method and to make philosophy touch life, we would sometimes have classroom debates on philosophical subjects by the students under the guidance of the instructor. The main issues in philosophy, because of their two-sided nature, of the uncertainty of their settlement, and of their stimulating effect on both the imagination and the intellect, lend themselves easily to the method of debate, as Plato, the Scholastics, and Bishop Berkeley illustrate.
