Description

This strikingly original work presents a theory of freedom as the absence of a wide variety of flaws, breakdowns, and restrictions that limit the potential flourishing of human beings as agents. This defeasibility conception, it is argued, can accommodate the diverse intuitions that make the concept of freedom so widely contested and which have given rise to so many conflicting accounts of it: each competing theory can be seen as concentrating on a different defect in human action.
