Derk Pereboom
My research areas are in free will and moral responsibility,
philosophy
of mind, history of modern philosophy, and philosophy of religion, and
I
have published articles in each of these areas. In my book on free will
and moral responsibility,
Living
Without Free
Will, I argue that we human beings do not have the sort of
free
will
required for praiseworthiness and blameworthiness, but conceiving
ourselves
as lacking this sort of free will this does not undermine what is
important
for morality and meaning in life.
I teach courses on free will and responsibility, philosophy of
mind, history of
modern philosophy,
and philosophy of religion.
