This article is a critical discussion of Derk Pereboom’s ‘‘disappearing agent objection’’ to event-causal libertarianism in his Free Will, Agency, and Meaning in Life (2014). This objection is an important plank in Pereboom’s argument for free will skepticism
It is intended to knock event-causal libertarianism, a leading pro-free-will view, out of contention. I explain why readers should not find the objection persuasive.
