In doing so I address three central questions: the Compatibility Question: Is free will compatible or incompatible with determinism? the Significance Question: What kinds of freedom are "worth wanting"? and the Intelligibility Question: Can one make sense of a libertarian free will that is incompatible with determinism without reducing such an undetermined free will to mere chance or to mystery; and can such a free will be reconciled with what is known about humans and cosmos in the natural and human sciences? In pursuing these questions I defend such an incompatibilist view and in the process discuss different notions of freedom\, including the distinction between freedom of action and freedom of will\, different dimensions of responsibility\, notions of self-formation\, will-setting\, agency\, causation\, control\, power\, voluntariness\, intentional action\, rationality and other related topics.\r\n\r\nSpeaker:\r\n\r\nRobert Kane is University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Law Emeritus at The University of Texas at Austin.
