Informationen zum Autor Steven M. Cahn is professor emeritus of philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where he served for nearly a decade as provost and vice president for academic affairs, then as acting president. He taught at Dartmouth College, Vassar College, New York University, the University of Rochester, and the University of Vermont, where he chaired the Department of Philosophy. He is the author or editor of more than seventy books. Klappentext This book is the first full-length treatment of the philosophical problem of fatalism! the thesis that the laws of logic alone suffice to prove that no person ever acts freely. After a critical examination of the history of the problem! from Aristotle through Stoic and medieval thought! Cahn analyzes contemporary discussions of the issue! revealing how a belief in free will is logically connected to specific assumptions about the truth-value of propositions and the nature of time.
