Abstract
Abstract In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity. We begin by exploring our basic ethical intuitions underlying the concern with free will. The principal issues we will focus on in this chapter are desert and justice, and they will be our central means of examining the merits of compatibilism and hard determinism in Chapters 3 and 5. In Chapter 6, we shall broaden our focus beyond desert and justice. The notion of desert lies at the centre of the concern with free will. It is also a normatively strong notion. Any conclusion we form regarding desert should therefore be valid for most of what concerns us in the free will problem.
