Title: Dilman gives a biased account of many philosophers
Review: I had to read this book for a class on the subject of free will and was appalled by Mr. Dilman's biased account of many of the most prominent philosophers and their views on free will. The chapter on Plato is GROSSLY mistaken and wrong. Mr. Dilman constantly reads into the philosophy things which simply are not there. He is obsessed with Simone Weil and attempts to work her "moral gravity" into every chapter; there is no evidence of such in Kant, Schpoenhaur or Plato despite what Mr. Dilman attempts to say. DON'T buy this book if you are looking for an unbiased and accurate account of the history of free will.
