Description
Gabriel De Marco and Taylor Cyr survey one reply to a classic puzzle about free will in two thousand twenty-four. The puzzle uses cases where a hidden manipulator steers a person to act, and the person seems less to blame. Replies split on where the loss of blame lies.
The views surveyed here place the loss in how the act ties to the manipulator. The authors lay out the family, then walk through its main detailed forms. Hard cases follow: harm from plain natural forces, chance results, lucky manipulators, and pairs of like cases that pull apart. The piece ends by weighing where this family of views may go next. It is the second of three parts.
