"This is, quite simply, the best work on Locke's theory of agency; it is a significant contribution both to Locke studies and to the theory of action. It is clearly and elegantly written, the arguments are set out in clear and cogent fashion, and the discussion of the details of Locke's texts is always conducted with an eye squarely fixed on the general philosophical import of the basic issues which those texts are addressing. It is an excellent piece of work."--Edwin McCann, University of Southern California"This is a first-rate piece of work. Yaffe's discussion is engaging, lucid, and almost entirely persuasive throughout. The issue of free will remains a lively one in both philosophical research and teaching."--Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania, author ofKant and the Experience of FreedomYaffe, Gideon is the author of 'Liberty Worth the Name Locke on Free Agency' with ISBN 9780691057064 and ISBN 0691057060.
