Description
Better Will offers a critique of Sam Harris's Free Will (2012), challenging Harris's one-sided and overly limiting portrayal of human agency. Vinding argues that Harris downplays our abilities to understand ourselves, to reshape our intentions, and to direct our actions, leading to an inaccurate view of our capacities and agency. We have reason to adopt a more accurate view, and to cultivate and act on a better will.
