Recensione:
John Martin Fischer's new collection of essays, Deep Control: Essays on Free Will and Value, constitutes a trenchant defence of his well-known compatibilist approach to moral responsibilityEL. Predominantly a collection of detailed responses to recent critics, this is not a book for beginners. It is, however, essential reading for specialists, as well as useful reading for non-specialists seeking a snapshot of the current state of the debate. Fischer's papers are dense with argument and alive with original and productive ideas. (Michael Garnett, Analysis)
As always, Fischer is highly sensitive to the subtleties and intricacies of the arguments but has an uncanny ability to cut to the heart of the issues. And as always, he is charitable to his opponents. Fischer's insights here, as in his other work, will prove invaluable for framing the debate and moving it forward (Meghan Griffith, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
