Books, websites etc.

Web resources

There is a really useful collection of papers by leading contemporary philosophers on the Determinism and Freedom Philosophy Website, edited by Ted Honderich (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctytho/dfwIntroIndex.htm)

A more comprehensive listing of links to on-line papers on our topic is provided by David Chalmers here.

Also:

Thompson, David. Freedom and Determinism: A Naturalistic Approach

http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~davidt/Freedom.html

A useful source of (in most cases substantial bits of) classic philosophy texts is offered by Andy Blunden's Value of Knowledge website.

Jud Evans (UCLAN graduate) has a large collection of texts and extracts from texts: Evans experimentalism and uncoupling the copula (http://evans-experientialism.freewebspace.com/index.htm)

The on-line encyclopedias are very useful:
