This talk advances a cluster of distinctive theses about what is sometimes called “the” free will debate. Among them: a defense of pluralism about the subjects under dispute; a case for non-error theoretic eliminativism about free will; the virtues of focusing on culpable agency as one regimentation of concerns about free will, and methodological caveats about how to frame the stakes; and last, consideration of a thesis I call “socio-normative insulationism,” according to which some subset of concerns oftentimes associated with free will seem relatively insulated from skeptical concerns.
