Reviews

engagingly written...a gripping and an absolutely pivotal period of operatic history, Daniel Snowman, Opera Now A Contemporary Introduction to Free Will will replace all other introductions to the subject. Saul Smilansky. Times Literary Supplement ...an excellent survey of the contemporary free-will debate...Kane...does such a good job that A Contemporary Introduction to Free Will will replace all other introductions to the subject. While the book is accessible to the lay reader, students of this problem will also read it with benefit. Saul Smilanksy, Times Literary Supplement
