 A Daring Soft Libertarian Response to Present Luck

Preview

This chapter constructs a libertarian view that grants the main moral of Frankfurt-style cases, and offers a resolution of the problem of present luck. Attention to how human beings may develop from neonates who do not even act intentionally into free, morally responsible human agents proves instructive in developing the resolution.

Keywords: Frankfurt-style cases; free action; libertarianism; moral development; moral responsibility
