DOI: 10.1007/s10670-021-00465-y
Abstract: Theories of free will are often measured against how well they capture everyday intuitions about free will. But what are these everyday intuitions, and what theoretical commitments do they express? Empirical methods have delivered mixed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10670-024-00844-1
Abstract: In the past 20 years, experimental philosophers have been investigating folk intuitions about the compatibility of determinism with free will and moral responsibility using vignettes depicting agents in deterministic universes. However, recent research suggests that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40656-024-00610-0
Abstract: This paper addresses the topic of determinism in contemporary microbiome research. I distinguish two types of deterministic claims about the microbiome, and I show evidence that both types of claims are present in the contemporary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/phpr.13071
Abstract: In appraising human actions, an important consideration is whether they are free. If they are compelled, this may be excusatory; if controlled by someone other than the agent, this may mitigate; and if selfishly motivated,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40168-018-0409-4
Abstract: BackgroundThe relative importance of stochasticity versus determinism in soil bacterial communities is unclear, as are the possible influences that alter the balance between these. Here, we investigated the influence of spatial scale on the relative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1332/20467435y2025d000000055
Abstract: Parental determinism is a term coined by sociologist Frank Furedi to describe and critique an argument directly associating parents’ quotidian behaviour with their children’s outcomes and therefore, the future of society. This study involved qualitative… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02623
Abstract: This paper articulates a non-epiphenomenal, libertarian kind of free will—a kind of free will that's incompatible with both determinism and epiphenomenalism—and responds to scientific arguments against the existence of this sort of freedom. In other… read more here.
