xiv Acknowledgments
I would like to thank my many colleagues and students at the University of
Vermont, Yale University, Cornell University, and the Central European Univer-
sity in Budapest for their valuable contributions. Of special note are my col-
leagues from the University of Vermont, David Christensen, Arthur Kuflik,
George Sher, Louis deRosset, Bill Mann, Seth Shabo, and Don Loeb, and my
colleague at Cornell, Carl Ginet. I would also like to thank all of the members of
the free will community for discussion and interaction over the years—and let
me note, specifically, John Fischer, Dana Nelkin, Lynne Baker, Michael
McKenna, Randy Clarke, Al Mele, David Widerker, Bob Kane, Gunnar Björns-
son, Tim O’Connor, Carolina Sartorio, Ish Haji, Joe Campbell, Manuel Vargas,
Shaun Nichols, Josh Knobe, Mario De Caro, Tamler Sommers, Eddie Nahmias,
Justin Coates, Patrick Todd, and my graduate students at Cornell, in particular
Jona Vance, Sean Stapleton, Patrick Mayer, and Austin Duggan. Finally, I would
like to thank my co-author for inviting me to come on board in 2013. Working
on this book with Michael was very pleasant and a great learning experience.
