[Vision2020] Campbell's Philosophical Work Direct Online For Free: Was: Joe Campbell promoted to Professor (was: ... Statesman)

[Joe Campbell]

Thanks for posting this Ted, and thanks to Ken for the original post about
the MIT book series.

As Nick said, the book series is the result of the Inland Northwest
Philosophy Department. Even more so than with the conference, much of the
credit to the Topics in Contemporary Philosophy series goes to Michael
O'Rourke (UI) and other co-editors. I was a substantive co-author of at
least three of the introductions to this series.

Most of my peer reviewed articles are difficult to get; the links below are
to unpublished work and drafts of published work. I hope to soon make my
work accessible from my website. But trust me, the work is pretty dry and
not the kind of thing you're likely to read when you have the time to read!
Mostly, I work in philosophical logic. "Strawson's Free Will Naturalism" is
about as good as it gets wrt my actual research.

There is a link below to a draft of the first two chapters of my forthcoming
book, Free Will (Polity Press). I've added some material to these chapters,
most notably a section on the problem of free will and foreknowledge. The
first two chapters are a broad introduction to traditional and contemporary
issues about free will and moral responsibility.

Best, Joe
