Skepticism about free will and moral responsibility has been on the rise in recent years. In fact, a significant number of philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists now either doubt or outright deny the existence of free will and/or moral responsibilityand the list of prominent skeptics appears to grow by the day. Given the profound importance that the concepts of free will and moral responsibility play in our livesin understanding ourselves, society, and the lawit is important that we explore what is behind this new wave of skepticism. It is also important that we explore the potential consequences of skepticism for ourselves and society.
