Natural compatibilism versus natural incompatibilism: Back to the drawing board
Mind and Language, 24, 1-23.
Feltz, A., Cokely, E.T., Nadelhoffer, T.
In the free will literature, some compatibilists and some
incompatibilists claim that their views best capture ordinary
intuitions concerning free will and moral responsibility. One goal of
researchers working in the field of experimental philosophy has been to
probe ordinary intuitions in a controlled and systematic way to help
resolve these kinds of intuitional stalemates. We contribute to this
debate by presenting new data about folk intuitions concerning freedom
and responsibility that correct for some of the shortcomings of
previous studies. These studies also illustrate some problems that
pertain to all of the studies that have been run thus far.
