Sinopsis

In Freedom, Teleology, and Evil Stewart Goetzádefends the existence of libertarian freedom of the will. áHe argues that choices are essentially uncaused events with teleological explanations in the form of reasons or purposes. áBecause choices are uncaused events with teleological explanations, whenever agents choose they are free to choose otherwise. áGiven this freedom to choose otherwise, agents are morally responsible for how they choose. áThus,áGoetz advocates and defends the principle of alternative possibilities which states that agents are morally responsible for a choice only if they are free to choose otherwise. áFinally, given that agents have libertarian freedom, Goetz contends that this freedom is integral to the construction of a theodicy which explains why God allows evil. á
