摘要

摘要:本文首先将自由意志与决定论的传统问题划分为“关联”问题和“解释”问题。然后,我将重点放在解释问题上,并论证一种标准形式的溯因推理(即对最佳解释的推断)可能有助于解决这一问题。为了证明溯因法的丰富性,我将其应用于三个关于自由意志的标准解释。虽然每种解释都意味着对相关性问题的相同解决方案,但每种解释都意味着对解释问题的唯一解决方案。例如,所有对自由意志友好的自由意志理论都暗示,当决定论是正确的时候,自由行动是不可能的。然而,只有一小部分自由意志主义者有理论资源来捍卫决定论法则(准决定论)破坏自由意志的不相容论主张,而其他自由意志主义者必须拒绝这种传统的不相容论观点。

THE PROBLEM OF FREE WILL AND DETERMINISM: AN ABDUCTIVE APPROACH
Abstract: This essay begins by dividing the traditional problem of free will and determinism into a “correlation” problem and an “explanation” problem. I then focus on the explanation problem, and argue that a standard form of abductive reasoning (that is, inference to the best explanation) may be useful in solving it. To demonstrate the fruitfulness of the abductive approach, I apply it to three standard accounts of free will. While each account implies the same solution to the correlation problem, each implies a unique solution to the explanationproblem. For example, all libertarian-friendly accounts of free will imply that it is impossible to act freely when determinism is true. However, only a narrow subset of libertarians have the theoretical resources to defend the incompatibilist claim that deterministic laws (qua deterministic) undermine free will, while other libertarians must reject this traditional incompatibilist view.

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
