Professor Pereboom works in free will and moral responsibility, philosophy of mind, history of modern philosophy, and philosophy of religion, and has published articles in each of these areas. In his book on free will and moral responsibility, Living Without Free Will, he argues that we human beings do not have the sort of free will required for praiseworthiness and blameworthiness, but conceiving ourselves as lacking this sort of free will this does not undermine what is important for morality and meaning in life. He joined the Sage School in 2007, moving here from the University of Vermont.
