Aspects of Agency: Decisions, Abilities, Explanations, and Free Will
Mele, Alfred R. (William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University)
Mele develops a view of paradigmatically free actions--including decisions--as indeterministically caused by their proximal causes. He mounts a masterful defense of this thesis that includes solutions to problems about luck and control widely discussed in the literature on free will and moral responsibility.
