Kane, Robert (ed.) - The Oxford handbook of free will

The problem of free will and necessity (or determinism) is “perhaps the most voluminously debated of all philosophical problems,” according to a recent history of philosophy.¹ This situation has not changed at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of a new millennium. Indeed, debates about free will have become more voluminous in the past century, especially in the latter half of it—so much so that it has become difficult to keep up with the latest developments. This handbook was compiled as a remedy in the form of a sourcebook or guide to current work on free will and related subjects for those who wish to keep up with the latest research.
