Readership: Advanced students and scholars of philosophy
Richard Holton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"Holton develops a unique account of the will and related phenomena that is both empirically informed and philosophically rigorous in a way that is accessible to an interdisciplinary audience." - Joshua May, Metapsychology
"It is a pleasure when a path-breaking book is written in a relaxed and communicative style that persuades the reader not by intimidating intricacy but by clarity and good sense... [this] book can be recommended to anyone keen on fresh insights." - A. W. Price, The Philosopher's Magazine
"This book is primarily about intention and a special sort of intention called resolution. The writing is clear and engaging. Its observations and analyses strike me as mostly acute and sensible. It makes good use of imaginary examples and empirical work from psychology. Overall it is an illuminating work from which anyone interested in its topic can reap considerable profit without undue struggle." - Carl Ginet, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
