Honderich poses the following question: if determinism is true, and free will an illusion, what are the consequences? Honderich maintains that both of the entrenched and traditional doctrines about the consequences of determinism, Compatibilism and Incompatibilism, are provably false, and formulates a new answer to the question.

The most recalcitrant problem of philosophy, free will, laid out and taken beyond unsatisfactory standard solutions by Britain's foremost working philosopher.Determinism comes in many forms, some confused, some inconsistent, some incomplete. Some philosophers maintain that determinism is incompatible with true freedom. And others, that determinism is no threat to our freedom. But are these philosophers really assigning an 'unfreedom' to us and merely pretending that we are responsible for our choices and acts of love and violence?Ted Honderich argues that there are strong reasons to think both positions wrong. Developing from where his earlier work left off, he considers there is a new and more difficult problem of determinism. It too can lead to the thought that we are unfree but morally responsible. As he demonstrates, the hardest and deepest question in philosophy needs a really different answer.

Determinism Is Alive and Well examines the concept of Determinism in the natural and social sciences, in particular quantum and relativistic physics, and history. It purports to show that determinism has not become an obsolete concept, but remains an essential general scientific principle. The author attempts to develop the modern concept of determinism through tentative theories such as quantum logic, a theory of the jump from the quantum to the classic level of matter and the Systemic Information Effect (SIE), and discusses holism and reductionism. It also examines the applicability of determinism and reductionism in the social sciences. Giles R. DeMourot holds a Doctorate in Law (JD), an MBA, a B.Sc. in Pharmacology and a BA in Classical Arabic, all from US Universities. Over the years he has served in the US Government in various capacities, both in the US and overseas. He then joined the private sector, working mainly in Europe including the UK. He now resides in France.

This is a concise introduction to one of the central questions of philosophy - are we subject to determinism, or do we possess Free Will, and thus responsibility for our actions? The first part of the book, which in itself amounts to a complete philosophy of mind, considers the claims of the two theories and investigates whether either of them is clear, consistent, complete, or demonstrably true. The remaining chapters deal with the implications of determinism and its significance inour public and private actions. Honderich examines the doctrines of compatibilism, which argues that we are subject to causation but nevertheless free, and incompatibilism, which sees determinism and freedom as mutually exclusive. This debate has been one of philosophy's main battlegrounds for centuries, with thinkers as distinguished as Kant and Hume in opposite camps.
