- This 160,000-word, 12 chapter monograph, is the product of six years of intensive research. It investigates the work of a wide range of Neoplatonist philosophers over a period of more than 300 years. Understanding freedom and responsibility requires considering questions in metaphysics (causation and part-whole relations), in ethics (acquiring the virtues, and the appropriateness of blame), and in the philosophy of mind (the nature of belief and its relation to perception and imagination). The book engages with these discussions as philosophy by raising potential objections to the views discussed and considering how these philosophers might respond to them.
