Restorative Free Will argues for an account of free will that takes
seriously the evolutionary development of the key elements of free
will. It emphasizes a biological understanding of free will that
rejects the belief that free will belongs exclusively to humans and
seeks to understand free will by examining it writ large in the
adaptive behavior of many species. Drawing on resources from
primatology, biology, psychology, and anthropology, Restorative Free
Will examines the major compatibilist and libertarian accounts of free
will, acknowledges their important insights while arguing that each
view mistakenly treats an essential element of animal free will as if
it were the full account of free will, and demonstrates how a broader
biological approach to free will integrates those insights into a
richer naturalistic free will account.
