Why Free Will Is Real
Book • 2019
In *Why Free Will Is Real*, Christian List presents a compelling case for the existence of free will by addressing three primary objections: determinism, radical materialism, and epiphenomenalism.
He argues that free will is a higher-level psychological phenomenon, not reducible to fundamental physics, and thus compatible with a deterministic universe.
List's approach emphasizes the importance of intentional agency, alternative possibilities, and mental causation as emergent properties that cannot be explained solely by physical processes.
