""This book is a joy to read-jargon-free, cogently argued."" - Mark Bernstein, University of Texas, San Antonio ""Waller writes with a simplicity and grace of style which both engages the reader and illuminates the steps in the argument. The overall position defended concerning the nature of freedom/autonomy and its connection, or lack thereof, with moral responsibility is both novel and inventive. The book is remarkably creative. In part this is because it is iconoclastic, critically confronting regnant opinions. But more creatively, it offers a synoptic position-a nuanced view-with many of its presuppositions and ramifications."" - George Graham, University of Alabama at Birmingham
