  Book Description
  Publication Date: September 5,
2011
  The concept of luck has played an important role in debates concerning free will and moral
responsibility, yet participants in these debates have relied upon an intuitive notion of what luck is. Neil Levy
develops an account of luck, which is then applied to the free will debate. He argues that the standard luck objection
succeeds against common accounts of libertarian free will, but that it is possible to amend libertarian accounts so that
they are no more vulnerable to luck than is compatibilism. But compatibilist accounts of luck are themselves vulnerable
to a powerful luck objection: historical compatibilisms cannot satisfactorily explain how agents can take responsibility
for their constitutive luck; non-historical compatibilisms run into insurmountable difficulties with the epistemic
condition on control over action. Levy argues that because epistemic conditions on control are so demanding that they
are rarely satisfied, agents are not blameworthy for performing actions that they take to be best in a given situation.
It follows that if there are any actions for which agents are responsible, they are akratic actions; but even these are
unacceptably subject to luck. Levy goes on to discuss recent non-historical compatibilisms, and argues that they do not
offer a viable alternative to control-based compatibilisms. He suggests that luck undermines our freedom and moral
responsibility no matter whether determinism is true or not.
  
  Review
  Hard Luck is important and challenging. Some of the arguments it directs
at varieties of compatibilism, especially those concerning control, should generate much useful discussion. And Levy
brings empirical research to bear fruitfully on issues like the effects of unconscious attitudes. Steven Sverdlik, Mind
[an] impressively wide-ranging book ... a no-frills and honest engagement with the issues by a creative philosopher, and
it deserves to be read. Neal A. Tognazzini, Australasian Journal of Philosophy All in all,
Hard Luck is good philosophy: informed, clear and controversial. Brian Jonathan Garrett, Philosophy in Review, (2013),
no. 3
