Features: Contemporary Western Political Philosophy Reader is set in the context of the contemporary era, focusing on important and core concepts, issues, schools, and figures in contemporary Western political philosophy. It includes significant academic literature on each topic, presenting the face of mainstream contemporary Western political philosophy in a way that is both objective and fair and rich in personal characteristics. This series aims to provide an entry point for professionals and enthusiasts in related fields, as well as serving as a basic reading for those seeking to enter the forefront of contemporary political philosophy theory. The issue of free will and moral responsibility is one of the oldest, most enduring, and most challenging problems in the history of philosophy. It hased the entire history of Western philosophy, sparking widespread attention and discussion among philosophers, and occupies a central position in contemporary Western philosophy. The reason for this is that the problem is closely tied to the circumstances and conditions of human life, making its exploration an important way for human self-awareness and self-understanding. Currently, this issue has not received the attention it deserves in China. It is hoped that the publication of this work will inspire students and scholars in this field to develop an interest in it.
