HARRIS, J. A., Of Liberty and Necessity. The Free Will Debate in Eighteenth-Century British Philosophy. Oxford University Press, 2005. 280p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Philosophical Monographs. James Harris's book, Of Liberty and Necessity, is a remarkable achievement. It is the first book to provide a true chronicle of the rich and intricate discussion in early modern Britain of the relationship between freedom and necessity...The best complement that can be paid to a work of philosophy - in contrast to, say, a novel - is not to just read it, but to use it to do more philosophy. Anyone who reads Harris's wonderful book will find themselves wanting to pay Harris that very complement.
