Four Views on Free Will Book

This book is an excellent way to see the current state of philosophical arguments about free will. The authors express disparate views, but they do so with genuine appreciation for the arguments and counterarguments of their co-authors and of other philosophers. It is not a page-turner, but (except for Pereboom's chapters) is generally at least fairly easy to follow. Although the authors were chosen to represent most of the free-will field, there were occasional hints about other ideas; I would have liked to see a few pages summarizing prominent views of other philosophers which did not get mentioned otherwise. I could add criticisms of the philosophy itself (in particular, everyone seems to blur metaphysics with ethics), but this book gives a good introduction to what the philosophy is saying.
